From Fox News: A doomsday bunker company based in Dallas, Texas, has seen a recent increase in clients, noting that many Americans are worried about social unrest today.
Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, told Fox News Digital in a phone interview this week that almost half of Americans think the U.S. could see a civil war.
Atlas Survival Shelters manufactures different types of survival shelters used to protect people “in case of a pandemic outbreak, civil unrest, malicious mobs, and biological nuclear fallout or EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attacks from homegrown terrorists or other nations,” the company’s website says.
Thirteen percent of Americans feel a civil war is “very likely” — with an additional 34% saying it is “likely,” according to a Marist National Poll done in May.
“Business is booming right now. We do bunkers anywhere from a million dollars to as low as $20,000. Some of our bunkers are even more than a million,” Hubbard told Fox News Digital.
He said the average bunker he sells has nine rooms and costs about half a million dollars. He’s selling at least bunker a day, and says his phone his ringing off the hook.
Some of his high-end clients: Influencer MrBeast, and Kim and Khloé Kardashian.
Atlas Survival Shelters has a factory in Dallas, and one in Poland. Their customers are from all over the world, including the Middle East, which has become a “hotbed” for clients purchasing the bunkers.
The company has shared multiple videos on social media showing off their products. Here’s a luxurious 400-square-foot bomb shelter:
