Update, Q1 of 2025: The Future of Piedmont Regional Outfitters LLC

Ryder Seward

Ah 2025.... 

The first year PRO will be a one man operation. It is also the year of completely new beginnings. First off, a history of PRO.

In September of 2023, PRO was formed. It was originally a way for me to sell off some of my massive milsurp collection. I started it with a friend of mine, Lloyd. The first six months were a blast until April of 2024 rolled around. I noticed Lloyd was expecting more than he was putting in and promptly cut him. Since then, sales are through the roof and I couldn't be happier.

Now to recently, I bought an entire, shut down, military surplus store. In December of 2024, we picked a 15 foot U-Haul full of military surplus. There was more woodland than I have ever seen. To say the least, I was over the moon.

Its now Mid-January and I'm rethinking how I want to run the company. I have come to the conclusion that I want to be extremely different. I am going to bring back affordable, worthwhile military surplus, to where anyone can afford it. 

Going forward, you will be able to buy kit that's worth it for the price, no price gouging. 

Also, shipping times will get much better. I have help now and I'm working through my personal issues that were making it slow.
