Owens Ironmongery Stores

Owen’s is a small independent local hardware retailer, just the kind that used to exist before the likes of B&Q and Homebase took over the market. Being small does limit the stock available to the basics in many cases but there is enough there to deal with most home related tasks. Tools, hardware accessories such as screws, nuts and bolts and basic electrical goods make up the bulk of the stock along with some housewares such as cleaning items and kitchen accessories.
Owen’s has a good rapport with the trade but welcomes regular customers too. The gentleman who works behind the counter is friendly and approachable and seems to know his stuff which is a welcome change from those High Street shops in which most of the staff don’t know anything.
Parking is not an issue here either. There is a pay and display opposite the shop but if you are there for goods which are easy to carry then Morrison’s which is a 5 minute walk away is free and easy to park in.
