Any overview of Fastenal has to start with a look at our 2,300+ store locations. After all, when our customers think of Fastenal, they don't think of some remote corporation; they think of their local Fastenal store and, more specifically, the people in the store who serve them on a regular basis.
What does local Fastenal store service mean for our customers? It means immediate access to locally stocked products, including items that can be stocked specifically for their business. It also means personal, on-site/on-call service from a Fastenal representative who lives in the community, understands their business, and considers it his or her job to help them solve problems and succeed. The result is a level of effort, accountability, and collaboration that pays off in countless ways -- every day, and when they need it most.
So when you hear us talk about our thousands of stores, keep in mind that we're not talking about how big we are; we're talking about how LOCAL we are. And that's what Fastenal is all about: using our global distribution strength to be the best local supplier in every market we serve.
