I remember when Larry had a wonderful hardware store in Marsh Manor Shopping center years ago. It was wonderful then and I am sure their new store will be as wonderful! Can't wait to visit the new store. Congratulations to you and your family.

We paid a visit to the Palo Alto Hassett Hardware store just this morning to get some keys copied. And last week for some peg boards and hooks. They provide great personal service and have everything we need.

Almanac --
Thank you very very much for this wonderful story. I really makes me very happy to see a local business thriving, and to learn about this great new store.

I didn't know the Hassett's ran the now-long-gone and much missed Marsh Manor Hardware store until I read it in this article. I am sorry that store is gone.

To the Hassetts --
Very good luck with the new store! I really like Palo Alto Hardware a lot, and have had nothing but good experiences there. The only problem there is finding a parking place. The service there is outstanding, and you almost always seem to have what I need. Your employees are great!
