Galls acquires USP

Lexington, Ky. (June 2022)GALLS®, the nation’s leading supplier to America’s public safety professionals, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a major acquisition of U.S. Patriot Tactical (“USP”). USP, a military and law enforcement supplier, operates over 63 retail stores around the world, providing products and equipment to US military service members, law enforcement professionals, and tactical operators.

“After decades of successfully servicing the Public Safety sector, GALLS entered the Military individual market in 2017,” Mike Fadden, CEO of GALLS, explained. “The recent acquisition of U.S. Patriot Tactical will give us a combined 77 years of experience serving Public Safety and U.S. Military professionals. GALLS and USP will have the premier sales and service capabilities in the industry.”

GALLS®'s recent acquisition of U.S. Patriot Tactical unites the two of the largest multi-channel distributors in the U.S. Military individual market.

U.S. Patriot Tactical founder, Phil Dee stated, “My family founded U.S. Patriot in 2000 to meet the needs of soldiers at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and over the past 22 years we have grown into one of the world’s largest military retailers. We now look forward to joining forces with GALLS, the top distributor of public safety uniforms and equipment nationwide, and together we will continue to serve the military community for years to come.”

GALLS has run a national distribution network for public safety, law enforcement, and local, state, and federal government agencies since 1983. Customized, mission-critical uniforms, safety equipment, and related gear are provided by the company to law enforcement, fire, EMS, private security, corrections, federal, military, and postal professionals.

GALLS acquired Patriot Outfitters in 2017, gaining entry into the US Military individual market. Expertly developed sales channels were combined with cutting-edge logistics, strong customer and vendor relationships, nationally recognised brands, superior e-commerce solutions, and a talented and professional employee pool. This acquisition added 39 on-base stores and an active website to Galls; the addition of USP adds 54 on-base stores, nine off-base stores, a dedicated website, and 270 employees headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina, making the combined company the largest distributor in the United States Military individual community.
