New business opens
PUTNAM --- Express Shipping and Office Supply opened recently at 361 Kennedy Dr., across from the former Belding mill.
The company, owned by Nick Malone and Rich Audet, ships internationally and domestically through multiple carriers. They also handle custom packaging, U.S. mail service; they offer stamps and packing and moving supplies. They are also working on a courier service, E-bay service and an office supply bidding/delivery system for companies in the area.
Danielson resident Malone, and Audet, who is from Thompson, were both contractors who originally bought the former home with the intent of renovating it and reselling it. But they changed their minds and decided to open a business. How did they decide what business to open? While eating breakfast at a local restaurant, they asked folks in the restaurant what kind of business the area needed. Delivery and office supplies, came the answer.
