Serving Those Who Serve: The Public Safety Store Specializes in Gear to Suit First Responders - Article, Business Lexington

Humble Beginnings:

It's no secret that firefighters and even police officers spend their own money on equipment and supplies. I know that because in 2002 I decided to do the same. I went to our local volunteer fire department and told them I was all in. I left my family and friends to respond to our neighbors in need and expected nothing in return. I sought the lowest cost on supplies and equipment. I realized a need to provide products and services at a low cost to first responders all around the country.

In 2004 I created a website, learned about business licenses, formed an LLC and somehow convinced a couple of manufacturers to open up an account. I had a garage and bought lights and sirens to fill it up. I wanted to have it on the shelf when you ordered.

We restructured in 2009 and hit the ground running. We grew faster than ever. We were still operating out of my home. We went to trade shows, schools and departments and put our products in front of the people who were using them and you in turn trusted us with your business.
