Openning The First Store
Meir Roth Ltd. began its journey in 1975 with the leasing of a 22-square-meter store and the opening of a firearms retail business in the center of Rishon LeZion by Tzipi and Meir Roth. With the opening of the store, Meir fulfilled his dream and turned his childhood hobby into a profession. The first store marked the beginning of the company's journey and laid the foundation for the values of service, professionalism, and reliability that have guided the company ever since.
New Branch
In 2002, Meir Roth fulfilled another dream with the establishment of "Meir Roth Shooting Ranges", a company-owned 388-square-meter facility located in the industrial zone of Rishon LeZion, comprising a firearms retail store and two adjacent shooting ranges. The opening of the new facility marked a significant milestone in the company's growth and further strengthened its commitment to serving its customers.
New Generation
