About Us

The Sommer Family

The Sommer Family

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, our family knows how to work hard but not forget the important things in life. Life is one big adventure and we intend to live it to the fullest with those we love the most. We started this company in December of 2022 to teach our children what it means to run a business. We wanted to pick something that aligned with our interests and beliefs.

  • We believe in reducing waste by re-using and repurposing items that may otherwise just end up in a landfill.
  • We believe in America! American Jobs, American Products and the American way.
  • We believe in sustainability. We use recycled or recyclable shipping products.
  • We enjoy being outdoors, visiting national parks, hiking and camping.

With these beliefs and interests in mind, American military surplus and American made sporting goods and products seemed to check all of the boxes. We bought a few items from Uncle Sam and listed them on eBay, Facebook, OfferUp, Mercari and a simple website we setup. The response was humbling. We've met and messaged with hundreds of customers who appreciate what we do and have done so much to support this small business of ours and we can't thank you all enough.

God Always Has A Plan For You

The timing of the business taking off was a blessing. It has allowed my husband to leave his job that consumed much of his time and spend more time at home. Little did we know how crucial that was to become as over this summer our daughter has needed a lot of medical care and the time we've spent at the hospital wouldn't have been compatible with his job. We're thankful for our blessings, we're thankful for you and we hope that we can continue to grow and one day open a full store here in the city we love, the Forest City.

Please do not hesitate to drop us a line and let us know about your experience or how we can meet your needs in the future!

 

Stay safe and well,
