"My partner and I engaged Stuart Mullen, Range Development Services, LLC at the beginning of our journey.
Needless to say we learned a lot from him and avoided what could have been some costly issues. The guidance and insight we received, particularly when it came to financing our venture, was invaluable.
From design pro-tips provided to us, our architectural design team and general contractor, to helping us re-calibrate on the initial loan we were pursuing. The money we invested in Stuart's scope of work turned out to be one of our best decisions we made much of which we only came to realize months after engaging him, and then well into the construction and upfit processes to reach grand opening.
Now, we're looking at a 2nd location, with Stuart, again."
Michael Healy, Iron Mikes Guns & Range
When we decided to build Republic Gun Club we had no idea just how complicated the entire process was going to be. Navigating the
range systems, HVAC, displays, vendors, municipalities, Etc. was something
we didn’t have experience with. I can only imagine landmines we avoided by having Stuart Mullen on our side.
If you’re thinking about building an indoor gun range, you
need to seek professional help, you need to hire Stuart Mullen.
Terry Flick, Republic Gun Club
As an FFL with no range, we finally decided to look into building one. Considering the limited information and resources available to properly complete market analysis and overall project due diligence, we engaged Stuart Mullen. Looking back, we've learned that the range equipment is only one small aspect of what's necessary to get the doors open...his understands the process...step-by-step guidance from completing our budget and proforma, through a long search for suitable property, winning our zoning approval, design guidance from a range owner-operator perspective as well serving not only as a resource but a positive influencing on our team; architect, civil engineer, and general contractor saved considerable time and money, both!
Our ability to leverage Stuart's knowledge and expertise to strategize on raising outside equity from investors, shop for the best construction lender and loan, navigate the underwriting process, and engage the various range equipment and many other vendors; from signage to security, etc; he's an invaluable asset. I knew the questions I had would get answered, however, all the issues I could not have possibly known were coming would have cost far more than the investment I made in Range Development Services.
