Eric Savelle

Eric Savelle is the owner of Tools Plus. He started the tool selling business in 1980 with nothing but $5,000, and a co-signed $20,000 loan. He bought a basement full of merchandise and held liquidation sales at hotels, having no permanent location until he began to rent a small 600 square foot store. From youth, he always loved anything with a motor, but all of his learned knowledge about the industry came from years of listening to his customers' stories, and benefiting from the wisdom and experience that they impart. The philosophy that he built this business with was to always treat customers like he would want to be treated in their place.
