Brand overview
USDS started as a local gun store in December 2013, founded by Mike Acton and Chad Laughner. After steady year-over-year growth, the owners transformed their successful store model into a franchise opportunity. They partner strategically with local owners to keep the traditional Mom and Pop gun store alive while benefiting from the collective purchasing power of multiple locations. Customers enjoy a welcoming atmosphere paired with modern conveniences like a loyalty program, texting program, and electronic forms.
