Jay Melone launched FastenFinder.com to compete online with the traditional “big box stores” for the contractor and D-I-Y fastener business.
Melone worked in his father Larry Melone’s fastener distributorship as a student doing everything from inventory checks, making boxes, breaking up pallets, handling shipping and making deliveries.
In college Melone studied computer science and then worked 12 years for computer companies, including an e-commerce software designer.
Melone told FIN more fastener information will be added to the website to increase contractor product knowledge.
“If you’re the average contractor, do-it-yourselfer, home owner or just about anyone that has ever used a hammer and nail, you walk into your local home repair center; head to the hardware aisle filled with tens of thousands of little metal, rubber and plastic fasteners and scratch your head. Have you ever noticed how even the employees tend to avoid that aisle? Where to begin? Well, I guess we’re hoping you’ll start here,” Melone wrote in the website’s “Who We Are” introduction.
