If you are opening a new store or think it’s time to spruce up your existing one, you need to consider installing a modular system throughout the building. Not only can a modular system improve the cohesiveness of your store because everything matches, it also allows you to change how you merchandise your building. If you want to swap out your ammo display with your AR accessories you can just add shelves and move your pegs because everything fits.

Most small FFLs buy their systems from other stores that have gone out of business. Although initially, it seems to be an economical way to get started, you end up with mismatched shelves that are different sizes, different colors, and bent out of shape. You will likely spend a lot of time and energy struggling to get them to match up. Now that your store is on its feet, it may be time to step up your game and optimize your floor plan and make more money!

Our complete modular systems were designed with you in mind. They allow you limitless options for displaying your firearms with our Gun Warden system and other accessories. We made it easy to place horizontal guns over verticals, pistols over verticals, display all horizontal or all vertical firearms, or even use the shelving to display accessories and other hard-line products. Use the same sign holder on everything and simply keep track of one key that rules all of the locks. Lights and shelving are completely adjustable to fit different goods. This way you are not merchandising yourself into a corner where you are limited to where you can put your products. Plus your store will look like a million bucks without breaking the bank.
