About Allied Surplus
Welcome to Allied Surplus, Arizona’s premier destination for authentic military surplus, tactical equipment, and outdoor survival gear. Since 1992, we have been proudly serving the Phoenix metro area as a family-owned and operated business. Whether you are an active-duty service member, a first responder, a tactical enthusiast, or an avid outdoor adventurer, our mission is simple: to provide the highest quality gear at prices that keep you prepared for any mission.
What started as a single storefront rooted in our passion for utilitarian and dependable equipment has grown into two brick-and-mortar locations in Phoenix and Mesa, alongside our expanding Allied Surplus Online Store. We deal in everything from genuine USGI issue gear, heavy-duty ammo cans, and dependable combat boots, to modern tactical apparel, camping gear, and survival supplies. We are also famous for our precision in-store services, including custom dog-tag stamping and personalized nametapes.
At Allied Surplus, we don't just sell gear: we know gear. Our team consists of knowledgeable professionals ready to help you find the exact equipment, proper uniform fit, or survival tool you need to get the job done right.
Meet Our Founder: Ronald Johnson
Allied Surplus was founded in 1992 by Ronald Johnson, whose foundational vision of reliability, honesty, and local community service still drives the company forward. With deep roots in the Phoenix area, Ron recognized a growing need among veterans, outdoorsmen, and working professionals for a reliable supplier of authentic, heavy-duty military goods and tactical hardware. By focusing on strong supply channels, prioritizing genuine government-issue items, and building a business centered on personalized customer care, Ron successfully transformed a local storefront into Arizona's trusted household name for tactical and survival gear. Under his ongoing guidance, Allied Surplus remains dedicated to maintaining the small-business integrity and rugged dependability that our customers have relied on for over three decades.
