Security 101, a portfolio company of Gemspring Capital and a national provider of comprehensive commercial security solutions, announces the acquisition of JY Security, LLC ("JY Security") and Beartooth Corporation ("Beartooth"), two long-standing franchise partners serving the San Antonio and Minneapolis regions.
With these transactions, Security 101 has now completed 21 strategic acquisitions, further advancing its national expansion and integration strategy.
Delivering integrated security solutions
JY Security has delivered advanced security systems to commercial and healthcare clients across San Antonio since 2019, adding another major Texas market to Security 101's corporate footprint alongside recent expansions in Dallas and Houston.
Beartooth, a Minneapolis-based provider founded in 2020, has built a strong reputation for delivering integrated security solutions to enterprise and federal government clients across the Upper Midwest. Together, the acquisitions expand Security 101's reach in two key regions and strengthen its position across commercial and government markets nationwide.
Exceptional regional businesses
JY Security's Jeff Ye and Beartooth's Jake Froiland will continue in their roles as General Managers, ensuring a seamless transition and consistent leadership for their respective teams.
"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 organisation as we continue building consistency, capability, and scale across the country."
Expanding national network
"Our success in San Antonio has been built on trust and dependable service," said Jeff Ye, founder of JY Security. "Joining the Security 101 corporate family enables us to maintain our local focus while leveraging national resources and collaboration to better serve our customers."
Jake Froiland, founder of Beartooth, added, "The Minneapolis team is excited to join an organisation that values innovation and operational excellence. With this partnership, we gain a broader platform to deliver even greater value and expertise to clients across the Midwest."
These acquisitions reflect Security 101's ongoing commitment to growth and integration, adding two proven, market-pioneer operations to its expanding national network and strengthening its ability to serve complex, multi-market customers nationwide.
