Security 101 has acquired two long-standing franchise partners, JY Security LLC in San Antonio, Texas and Beartooth Corporation in Minneapolis, Minnesota, further extending our national footprint and strengthening our ability to deliver enterprise-grade security integration in two strategic regions. With these additions, Security 101 has completed 21 acquisitions to date, underscoring steady momentum as a growing national integrator.
EXPANDING STRENGTH IN STRATEGIC MARKETS
In San Antonio, JY Security LLC, founded in 2019 by Jeff Ye, has built strong partnerships across multiple industries throughout central Texas, designing, installing, and supporting advanced security solutions for organizations of every size. Bringing JY Security into our corporate organization deepens our coverage in a major Texas market and complements recent expansions in Dallas and Houston.
In Minneapolis, Beartooth Corporation, founded in 2020 by Jake Froiland, has earned a strong reputation for delivering integrated electronic security solutions to enterprise and government clients throughout the Upper Midwest. This addition increases our capacity to support regional growth and national-account programs.
ALIGNMENT IN VALUES AND VISION
“The addition of these two high-performing operations further advances our long-term strategy to unite exceptional regional businesses under the Security 101 brand,” said Greg Daly, CEO of Security 101. “Jeff and Jake exemplify the leadership and customer dedication that drive our growth nationwide. We’re proud to welcome their teams to the corporate organization as we continue building consistency, capability, and scale across the country.” |
Reflecting on the partnership, Jeff Ye highlighted the shared values that underpin the relationship:
“Our success in San Antonio has been built on trust and dependable service,” said Ye. “Joining the Security 101 corporate family enables us to maintain our local focus while leveraging national resources and collaboration to better serve our customers.” |
From the Upper Midwest, Jake Froiland emphasized the opportunities that come with uniting under a single national brand:
“The Minneapolis team is excited to join an organization that values innovation and operational excellence,” said Froiland. “With this partnership, we gain a broader platform to deliver even greater value and expertise to clients across the Midwest.” |
One Team, Nationwide Reach
Both teams will continue under local leadership while gaining access to Security 101’s shared resources, national-account coordination, and best practices. The outcome is consistent project delivery, faster mobilization for complex deployments, and a continued unified service experience backed by a national organization.
