We built this store (and a handful of other ecommerce stores) originally for our kids as we have run a successful E commerce store ourselves for 28 years. Naturally, we expected that they would want to run a store in this wonderful field and make a great living, but kids have minds of their own and they have to learn on their own. So we have listed it for sale - you will deal directly with the store owner.
65% of Americans expect life-threatening heat waves this year and 55% expect long blackouts, yet only 5% of homes have a fully stocked emergency kit (SafeHome.org survey, July 2025). That gap is the business. This is a finished, live online store selling survival and preparedness supplies to the people trying to close it.
WHY PREPAREDNESS
- An estimated 24.5 million Americans are preppers (TruePrepper, 2026 estimate).
- Preppers restock constantly. Food storage, water filters, batteries and fuel get used, rotated and replaced.
- Every storm season, blackout and news headline sends new buyers looking for supplies.
- Buyers in this niche tend to buy kits and bundles, not single items.
- Sales run all year, and demand jumps when the weather or the news turns.
PROOF IT WORKS
Another family who bought a store from us had never sold online or owned a business before. They made $25,000 in net profit in the second month following our instructions.

WHO BUILT IT
Our family has sold online since 1998, before eBay, PayPal or Google existed, and online sales have supported our family of seven. We built this store for our kids. They chose their own paths, so we are looking for a family who will take it over and run with it.
