After a year of planning, the gun store inside of Odell Lumber and Supply, 1720 State Road 14 in Rochester, officially opened its counter to customers on Monday.
The store is operated by Derek Pontious who has nearly ten years under his belt in the firearm sales industry and high hopes for the future of the store.
The store has shotguns, rifles, handguns, ammunition and magazines. More is to come in later as the clientele grows.
Pontious says the new job has been a dream come true. He credits Odell Lumber's owner, Trent Odell, as well as God, for the opportunity to make the community a safer place by allowing him to put good guns into good people's hands.
The gun store will be open Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m.
