Based in Richardson, American Rounds has six ammo vending machines in select stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, and 200 more are on the way.RICHARDSON, Texas — It's been a whirlwind of a week for Grant Magers. He's the CEO of American Rounds, a Richardson company specializing in automated retail -- with a bang.
"We're the safest, most secure method of ammunition sales on the market currently," Magers said."Our ID reader is the same as the TSA's -- it's the highest quality. Any minor can go to the website of a big box sporting goods store and click the box saying they're 21 and order 1,000 rounds to their house."
"Our sales are up 900% since the first story went viral," Magers said."We have 200 locations waiting on a machine and are getting 20-25 emails per hour." Magers said,"Walmart sells milk, eggs, bread... and guess what? They also sell ammo -- it's just in the sporting goods department."
