OUR HISTORY
Mike Schrank’s Smoke ‘N Gun was founded in 1964 by Mike Schrank. What started as a small storefront in downtown Waukegan, the business moved to its current location in the late 1970’s. Long time customers will remember that Mike ran the business for decades with his brother John at his side. Schrank’s became well known in the area for extensive inventory, industry expertise, fair deals, and customer service – and a funny story or two.Sadly, both brothers passed away within months of each other in 2007.
Today, Joan Schrank, Mike’s wife, runs the thriving business. Along with three generations of the Schrank family, Schrank’s Smoke ‘N Gun is staffed by former law enforcement professionals, former and current military personnel, and lifelong gun enthusiasts. Together, this committed group continues the legacy of Mike and John by focusing on relationships with customers.
Quite simply . . . our customers come first. We value the long relationships we have established over the years. We believe the best advertising is word of mouth, so we work hard to earn your trust.
