The First Full-Service Range-Retail Franchise
Own a modern indoor shooting center combining retail, training, memberships, and events in one experience-driven facility.
Brand overview
Midwest Shooting Center reinvents the traditional indoor firearm range with an inviting, modernized environment designed for the full spectrum of firearms enthusiasts—especially new and novice shooters. Each location combines a 20-lane indoor shooting range with a full retail line, subscription-based memberships, professional training programs, events, and gunsmith services.
As the first and only proven full-service range-retail franchise, the brand provides a replicable system that breaks down industry barriers around regulation, retail commoditization, and the lack of proven business models. Franchisees benefit from a multi-revenue-stream operation backed by a professional corporate support team and continued investment in corporate-owned locations.

Why choose Midwest Shooting Center
Midwest Shooting Center delivers a proven business model built on systems, processes, and diverse revenue streams. Two subscription-based recurring sources cover over 85% of costs within the first 12 months of operation, giving franchisees exceptional financial stability from day one.
The brand achieves industry-leading blended margins in excess of 56%, compared to a typical industry range of 32–34%. Franchisees gain immediate purchasing power and access to preferred vendor pricing that more than offsets the royalty.
The corporate team assists with real estate acquisition, zoning, construction management, staff training, branding, marketing, and post-opening field-level support. The model is replicable and predictable, designed for standardized multi-location operations.

Training & support
Franchisees receive comprehensive training and support across compliance, purchasing, accounting, marketing, sales management, and day-to-day operations. Corporate staff provide hands-on assistance with site selection and buildout, marketing strategy, operational efficiency, technology integration, and professional development.
A continuously updated operations manual ensures franchisees always have access to the latest standards and procedures. Post-opening field-level support keeps locations on track as they grow, and the corporate team remains actively invested through its own company-owned locations.
Ideal candidate
The ideal franchise owner has a track record of success in a business environment and a genuine passion for the industry. Midwest Shooting Center seeks self-starters who are leaders of people, team-oriented, willing to learn, and driven to win.
Because the brand is in the people business—not just the firearms business—candidates should value customer experience and community building as much as operational excellence.
