Our Story

Zoro.com launched in May 2011 with about 20 employees and a much smaller assortment of around 180,000 items. With each new order that came in, everybody on the team pitched in to get shipments out the door and delight our early customers.

In 2014, we officially changed our name from Zoro Tools to Zoro—reflecting our focus on all kinds of business supplies and products. Over the next few years, we continued to expand, growing rapidly and investing in the business with a much bigger team and a greater selection of products. By 2016, we had reached a major milestone—1 million unique products live on our site!

As an eCommerce, digital-first business, we've continually upgraded our site to make searching, ordering, and shipping millions of products as fast and seamless as possible for you and your business.

Our number one goal is to make it easy for every customer to find exactly what they need to develop and maintain a successful business. That’s why we offer millions of products for every job—and we’re adding more all the time.

Our Culture

Zoro.com is an eCommerce company that sells business supplies, equipment, and tools—but we’re much more than just a website. We’re a team of great people who win and lose together (we prefer winning!).

Even as we've grown rapidly in just a handful of years, we've worked hard to foster a unique company culture built on transparency, collaboration, and innovation. We've also won a number of awards for our company culture along the way. Of course, it's not the awards that matter—it's the people. We pride ourselves on building diverse and inclusive teams that allow our employees to bring their authentic selves to work and have a little bit of fun in the process. We've built this culture not just because it works for our team members, but because it helps us provide the ultimate customer experience to everyone who shops at Zoro.

"Zoro's culture is truly one of authenticity, and that's what makes me excited to do my best work. Zoro is a place where I can bring all the best parts of myself to the table."

—Geremy Bass, Senior Program Manager, Digital Product

Making a Difference

Making a positive difference for our customers is important to us. We apply that same thinking to the communities we serve and live in. Our Zoro Cares program is how we roll up our sleeves to build a stronger community. For example, we partner with YouthBuild, an organization that gives job training, support, and education to low-income young people. Both Zoro and YouthBuild value courage, hard work, and the unique potential of every person—so we think it’s a perfect fit.
