An Introduction to Southeast Outfitters

It hasn't even been a full year, but we are excited about the phenomenal first nine months of Southeast Outfitters. It's been an exciting challenge to open up in such a shaky economic time, but we know how privileged and blessed we have been. We also think that the way we can all prosper is through individual initiative and hard work. There have been ups and downs, surprises and windfalls, but we feel that there are three key features to Southeast Outfitters that set it apart:

Southeast Outfitters is a responsible business.
We feel incredible responsibility to our community, to our customers, and to ourselves. We feel that we must be the best business we can be for our friends and neighbors in the local economy. We feel that we must offer the finest products for the best prices we can and that we must be straightforward with our customers in all things. And we feel that, after the business was founded in such a careful and deliberate way, we must manage and grow Southeast Outfitters with that same care and deliberation.

We only sell quality products that we believe in.
Auction sites and other e-tailers are full of sellers offering fine products but trying to pass them off as something they're not. We are committed to creating and maintaining trust in the products we carry. No clones. No knock-offs. No imitations. Period. We may carry more economical alternatives to some items, but that's what they are - alternatives. We refuse to allow for any confusion as to what our customers are buying. If you buy Magpul's latest and greatest PMAG 30 GEN M3 or Troy's excellent Ambidextrous Bolt Release, then you can be certain that's what you'll get.

We want to grow, and we have a plan.
Today, we run this business online, and after our day jobs with a major IT company. Despite that, we process and ship virtually all of our orders in the same day or the next day. We devote every minute we can to building and improving this business that we have become so proud of, but we don't want to stop with a great website full of great stuff. We want our own brick-and-mortar store so our local customers can come in and check out our products first-hand. We want a top-notch shooting facility. (Indoors? Outdoors? Pistol? Rifle? Skeet and trap? Archery? All of it!) We want to offer gunsmithing services for maintenance, repairs, and custom work. We want to offer training services for shooting, reloading, and survival skills. We want to do all of that while continuing to offer a superior web experience and a dedication to all of our customers, near and far, in everything. As I've said before, we want to handle 'our baby' with care and deliberation. Our long term goals may take some time to achieve, but that's only because we want to do it right.

We plan to post here regularly and to offer new and different products as often as we possibly can, so we hope that you'll check back often to this blog, for more posts including product reviews, and to SoutheastOutfitters.com, to find that perfect piece to complete your next project, outing, or adventure!
