History
Beginnings
The Zombie Extermination Force began as Smith and Wesson. Smith and Wesson was founded by cousins Jimmy Smith and Patrick Wesson in 1927. The company was designed as a bootlegger and a small arms shop in Georgia, United States.
In World War II, both Jimmy Smith and Patrick Wesson went to war. While they were at war, they temporarily closed their shop and was reopened in 1946. Jimmy Smith died in the late '40s and his share of the company was passed on to his son, William Smith. The company was then run by Patrick Wesson with William helping. Wesson died two years after Smith. Smith passed his share on to his son, Mackenzie Wesson. The business was then run by a William Smith and Mackenzie Wesson together.
Buyout
In the 1950s, Smith and Wesson was caught in financial trouble. The company was struggling to make money. Mackenzie Wesson left the company in the late '50s and moved to Florida to pursue other careers. In 1963, the company was bought by Michael Parker in a deal worth approximately $17 and agreed to change the name of the company.
In the 1980s, Parker expanded the company into hunting and was renamed to Parker's Hunting Shop. The company set up a small second headquarters just outside Atlanta, Georgia.
ZEF
In the 1990s, Parker decided to retire and sell his company. His company was sold in 1996 to a small group of people. In the deal, Parker allowed them to keep the company name for another five years. In 1997, they began reshaping the business. In late 1998, the organization was unofficially the Y2k Busters. In 1999 they focused most of their year preventing Y2K. In June 2000, the business was closed.
In 2001, the company was bought by Michael Andrews and renamed to The Zombie Extermination Force. The company's focus changed to mainly hunting zombies. In 2002, ZEF closed all locations and moved to the location in Atlanta. In 2003, the Alabama Branch was created.
Today
Currently, the ZEF is run out of Atlanta, Georgia and Alabama. The ZEF is wanting to open a small store at the current locations. The ZEF Store is planning to open in mid 2008 and are asking the Smith and Wessons for help. However, nothing has been confirmed.
