Jim Zumpone - Supreme Zipper Industries & Zipper Junction Project

Jim grew up in Queens.  Before he was even finished with
highschool, he was working as a finish carpenter in New York City
and Long Island.  Always a builder, he stuck with that line
of work until his back gave out in his 30s.  From there, Jim
found himself in the shop of a 101-year old immigrant who had
built an empire selling zippers to manufacturers all across the
US.  Jim would eventually take over that business and
re-locate it to Northeast PA where it's still running strong to
this day.  As part of his life's work, Jim has a goal of
constructing a technical and trade school where students will
have opportunities to work in a real-world environment during
their training.  Jim brings in "Humdingers" from
locally-owned Watson Bros. and Adam shares snacks from Austria
and an unusual and very tasty new flavor of potato chip.
