About Gearupfl
For the past ten years, Gearupfl Surplus has been a mainstay in Brevard County. Founded by Lela Smien Hatoum, a native of Killeen, Texas, and granddaughter and daughter of World War they and World War II veterans. Charley Smien, Lela's father, successfully owned and ran a number of military surplus businesses in the Fort Hood region, which allowed Gear Up to gain its start. Charley was well-known in his neighborhood and ran a number of surplus shops. He got to know his clients and tried to give back as much as he could. His ideals are still deeply instilled, and Gearupfl Surplus carries on his heritage.
