Regions Security, a Miami-based security services firm with about 300 employees and heavyweight clients such as Marriott, Shoma Group, and Cushman & Wakefield is launching Regions Guns & Ammo on May 8.
The firearms outlet, located at 1100 NW 72nd Avenue will be an integral component of the firm’s expansion plans, said President & CEO Carlos Rivero, Jr., who is opening the gun store only seven years after founding Regions Security.
“We are focused on being a premier one-stop security solution, so we decided to move forward and open the shop,” said Rivero, noting the gun store is located in Regions Security’s new headquarter building, which is a reinforced facility since it was originally built and operated as a bank.
The gun store will comprise a huge collection including “everything that you can think of,” Rivero said. That includes local merchandise and online access to every type of firearm, ammunition and accessories.
The online store will be equipped to sell all over the country, he said, offering customers some of the best prices. More importantly, he is offering a first-of-its-kind discount to any public service employee in addition to discounts provided to prior or active military personnel, fire and police departments.
“We want to show gratitude for what they do every day,” said Rivero, a veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom military initiatives.
A veteran-owned business, Regions Security was voted one of the region’s fastest growing companies by the South Florida Business Journal in both 2015 and 2016 and It continues to expand its vertical and geographic markets, with contracts reaching from Monroe County to north of Jupiter in Palm Beach County.
The firm’s connection to the community goes well beyond its varied security services. Rivero is a big believer in corporate responsibility and giving back. Best Buddies, The Miami Rescue Mission and the Military Affairs Advisory Board are among the organizations it has active partnerships with.
Regions Security serves more than 200 properties, and offers the gamut of 24-hour security and asset protection work: Vehicle patrols, armed and unarmed security guards, CCTV and electronic surveillance, hospitality and front desk security and concierge personnel and alarm response.
Rivero expects the firm’s laser-like focus on customer service and exclusive training programs to help fuel the success of the gun shop, he said, adding the firm is also eyeing national expansion through its online store.
“We are making sure that we carry the best available firearms, both in brand recognition and the most up to date and reliable models —we want to be considered a premier store,” he said, adding that his store in a corner building right off the 836-highway making it one of the county’s most centrally-located and accessible gun store.
General Manager Alejandro Gonzalez, who has over a decade of security and firearm experience, will spearhead the gun store’s operations and oversee its many services for the security community and retail public alike.
“What makes us different is that we are also licensed in Florida as a Security Academy where customers will be able to not only get concealed weapons permits but also their Security Guard licensing,” said Rivero. “Everything right under one roof, we provide the training, certification, and equipment.”
