From the Mill to the Range: The Reese’s Gun Supply Story | Episode #31

Pull up a chair and join us for a fantastic conversation about heritage, safety, and community! In this episode of the GreeneScene Podcast, host TR Mahle is traveling down the road to sit down with Troy Kosal, owner of Reese’s Gun Supply, and Chad Bussey, the shop’s manager and expert gunsmith. While they might be located in nearby Smithfield, the team at Reese’s has been a massive supporter of our Southwestern Pennsylvania outdoor and sportsman community for generations. With a family business history that stretches all the way back to the late 1800s, this local staple actually started out as a general mill (and even sold lawnmowers at one point!) before evolving into the premier supply shop it is today. In this episode, we discuss: > Deep Family Roots: How a 19th-century general store grew into a thriving business with nearly 20 employees, all while maintaining the tradition of taking Sundays off for family time. > Service & Safety: Troy shares how his military background and Chad’s experience in law enforcement shaped their passion for firearm safety, and gives us a sneak peek at the exciting classroom expansion being built right next door. > Hands-On Hospitality: Why the team believes in the importance of letting customers come in, ask questions, and actually hold a firearm before purchasing. > Behind the Counter: A look into their specialized services, from custom laser engraving to full gun cleaning and maintenance.
