Prevent Storefront Crashes with Safety Bollards

From the world's most famous department stores to "mom and pop shops" all across the heartland, storefront crashes can happen anywhere at any time. But are much more common at locations with a connecting parking lot near the entrance.

According to Storefront Crash Expert, Rob Reiter, nearly 70% of storefront crashes between 2013-2017 took place at either a retail store, commercial building, or a restaurant. And nearly half of all of the accidents in that time were do to either pedal error or operator error. That means most of these storefront crashes happen when a driver loses control of the car while pulling up to the store, causing the car to jump the curb and crash into the building, turning the vehicle into a weapon of mass destruction on the building and the people inside/around it.

So, how can a business owner, like yourself, prevent this from happening?

Installing steel pipe bollards is the most cost effective step to take.

Anyone could build a wall of guardrail or stone to stop these accidents from happening. But that's not practical, especially for a business owner who's leasing a storefront. That is why we suggest installing multiple safety bollards in front of your store to prevent vehicles from accidentally or purposely causing mayhem. And we have plenty of options to choose from, including Base Plate Bollards, Removable Locking Bollards and Base Plate Hidden Bollards, as well as a wide array of concrete bollards.
