As we prepare for the RCC STORE Conference 2025, taking place June 3 and 4 at The Toronto Congress Centre, 247 GARD is looking forward to meeting with retailers who are focused on reducing shrink and building safer, more secure stores.

Since 2019, we have helped retail businesses lower theft, improve safety, and protect high-value products. We understand the real challenges that come with internal theft, shoplifting, and managing busy retail spaces. Our goal is to support you with reliable security that fits your store’s flow and needs.

We work directly with retail teams to build strong loss prevention strategies. From entrances to stockrooms, our trained guards are placed where they make the most impact. They are taught to recognize suspicious activity, act early, and handle situations professionally without affecting the shopping experience.

We also place a strong focus on training. Our staff are prepared for high-theft areas like electronics and cosmetics and know how to manage difficult situations calmly. They support your store team and help create a safe, welcoming space for both staff and customers.

We offer regular check-ins and risk reviews to stay ahead of issues before they grow. By working with us, retailers often see fewer theft-related losses, lower insurance costs, and stronger day-to-day operations.

If you are attending the RCC STORE Conference, we invite you to visit us at Booth 212. We would be happy to learn more about your store, your challenges, and how we can help improve your security and bottom line.
