our story

Built as a business. Built as a lesson. Built together.

Finders Keepers is being built by Nicole Russo and her three children as a real-world project in entrepreneurship, responsibility, customer experience, and community impact.

Why did we build Finders Keepers?

The idea started with a question: what could a vending machine be if the product was not the point — the moment was? Families spend a surprising amount of life waiting for the table, the appointment, the next game, the ride, the sibling, or the check.

Finders Keepers turns those little gaps into opportunities for play, creativity, usefulness, connection, or surprise. Curation matters, placement matters, and whether the host is genuinely better with the machine there matters.

What does local impact mean?

A portion of every purchase helps support local organizations serving children and families. As the route grows, the goal is to make that support visible and measurable.
