Fazzio Has Almost Everything

Fazzio started some years ago with just a house and a small building. The founder would buy from companies that were going out of business mostly hardware and industrial businesses.  He would simple resell that product. After years of growing it was very common for one to say try Fazzio’s they have almost everything.

Vision

I believe I heard though others who know the founder that he really had a small farm and sold produce. Joseph had a vision, most people in that area had farms so he had a vision to buy from used and new products from hardware stores and resell sell it. Read a good article in inc.com about vision. Like Joseph he had a vision but he executed it.

Driving down the road I notice an American flag flying at Astro Outdoor Advertising. I remember Astro signs.  I have notice them form many years. when I go to local area stores and businesses and see the signs that where made by this company.

Go to their website www.astreosignco.com. They have a very interesting history and a lot of samples of their great work. You will see on their website that they offer many services. Billboard advertising, production, design, installation, maintenance, digital printing and more. Oh and by the way, they offer Flags and flag poles. Click on the installation on their site and see Astro working on one of their customers who is Franklin Trailers and you will see Franklin’s American flag flying in the back ground.

What an interesting businesses, think about it, a business needs a sign or a billboard to advertising and of course American flags and flag poles.

On Astro website they mention some good advise to businesses. They say for billboard advertising Outdoor advertising has a lower cost per thousand than any other type of advertising. 80% less than TV commercials, 60% less than newspaper ads and 50% less than radio. As a business you going have to  think about advertising. Advertising on a billboard may not be a bad idea.

As a business you want a clean and eye catching sign and yes of course a beautiful American flag. So fly your American flag and let me know so I can post about your business on my American flag sighting blog.

Original Great American Steak

American Flags flying in outdoor dining

I was in El Paso,Texas again for a few weeks. As I was there we stop at a Steak restaurant. As we pulled up to the restaurant the first thing I notice was American Flags flying in the outside dining area. I took some pictures of the outside area. We walked inside and order a steak burger because it was just too hot outside in Texas in July. Original Great American Steak are know for their steaks and steak burgers. I ordered their well known steak burger, and to my surprise I was served a juicy burger with a little American flag.

Yes, an American Flag sighting on my steak burger.

From small a small Deli named Ocean view Deli to condo’s I passed by the usually flag flying businesses like fast food restaurants, car lots and Banks. But I love seeing the hundreds of other small businesses of American Flags along Route 26. I wish I could stop and get a history of their business. How they got started and what or who inspired them.
