This weekend, while in town for the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon, the Green Girl visited the The Zombie Apocalypse Store in Las Vegas.
I discovered this store a month ago when I was out on a run just off The Strip. When I saw the storefront, I thought I was dreaming.

I was disappointed I didn't have the opportunity to meet the zombie authority but I assured them I would return in a month when I was back in town for the Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon.

The Zombie Apocalypse Store carries military MREs (Meal, Ready-to-Eat), emergency water filters and pouches, zombie ammunition, stun guns, slingshots, knives and swords, target practice items, books, and other survival supplies.
|
Zombie news is appropriately broadcasted constantly at The Zombie Apocalypse Store.
If you need to hone your shooting skills, they have a wide variety of zombie targets to choose from.
|
I commented that I would have a hard time shooting something that cost me $79.95 but the owner's wife pointed out the fact that I could keep the used target as proof of my zombie sharpshooting.
Opposite the three-dimensional zombie target display, they had a selection of exploding target mixes.
|
As I perused the store, I exchanged survival strategies with the owners. One can never be too prepared.
They also asked me what other items I would expect to see in a zombie apocalypse store.
|
I would recommend The Zombie Apocalypse Store to survivalists, theorists, zombie fans, and anyone who is interested in outliving the undead.

- Organize before they rise!
- They feel no fear, why should you?
- Use your head: cut off theirs.
- Blades don't need reloading.
- Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
- Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
- Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
- Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
- No place is safe, only safer.
- The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
Oooooooooh.
ReplyDeleteHa, I would love to visit that store!
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! My zombie-obsessed friend would love that store!
ReplyDeleteHi! Just found your blog, and i LOVE that you're using it to raise awareness for Angelman-- i was not familiar with the syndrome before, but love that running can be used in positive ways! Happy running!
ReplyDeleteFunny - my oldest has more than once asked me what I would do if there was a zombie attack...I'll have to show him this post when he gets home from school:)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not prepared for zombie attack. Should I worry? :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow I got to go check that store out!!
ReplyDeleteI found this article because I live with a skeptic who likes to play devil's advocate. She insisted that I prove that there might be a scientific reason that someone with a dementia-like brain disease might become cannibalistic.

awesome post. :-)
Are you and I really friends?
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of such a store. Interesting and worth investigating.
ReplyDeleteHaha, once after watching my son play Nazi Zombies on the Xbox, I had a dream he and I were mowing them down until we ran out of ammo and I woke up :-).
ReplyDeleteThanks again for "The Stick". It's the perfect present.
Wait, if you add 5 & 7 you get me on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Sometimes Thursdays too. This must do something to my risk factor. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI may have to make a special trip to Vegas to check out this awesomeness. Strange about the lack of firearms.
ReplyDeleteMy boys would Love that store!
ReplyDeleteOh my. Who would have thought such an interesting store existed. They were pretty smart though identifying that niche and having a store devoted to zombies.
ReplyDeleteI read your race report the other day at work(I can read it in Google Reader but the web-blocker program prevents me from leaving comments). I'm sorry the race was so miserable and can't believe there wasn't enough water on the course and only having green banana's at the end is horrifying. RnR's are better than that so you have to wonder what happened. A new race director that was part monkey and camel? Your next race will be better (it couldn't be worse, right?)
that is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteHad no idea Zombies were such big business. Awesome!
