I've been going to O'Connors since we moved here 20+ years ago. The first time I visited the Tower Farm Rd location, I couldn't believe the variety of items a hardware store carried - they even had christmas wrap and bows! In their Boston Road store, they literally have everything except groceries! Plus everyone seems like they enjoy working there and helping customers. That factor alone will keep me going - they hire local people who are still around the next time you come in with a question, and they seem to care about their reputation, their community and their customers.
