Summit Fasteners - a chip on the shoulder?

August 2nd, 2007 · 5 Comments

Every day I drive past Summit Fasteners, a company located west of I-15 on Center Street in Orem.

I always notice that the sign says funny things out front - here are some examples:

  • Our last job sucked
  • Your so vain, you probably think that this sign is about you (they did have you’re spelled wrong, btw)
  • Well, it looks like we’re going to make it
  • We keep our nails inside, not out in the rain like they do

Apparently they have a chip on their shoulders, but I’m having a hard time figuring out who “they” are (their competitors).

I’m guessing that a couple of guys worked at some local company, didn’t like it and started their own company. It’s not a big deal either way, I just want to know what the story here is!

    Ted,

    I saw the new signs when I was driving by - something like:

    How do you beat summit? Take the f out of way!

    I wasn’t sure what it meant - want to share?
