Huge store and a great selection of items. People are standing by the ends of the aisles to help you out. Unlike some other stores where you can never find anybody... Very helpful. Check out was fast and easy and they have dividers at checkout. Highly recommend!

O'Connors has fought off. The big orange machine many times. Have found things at O'Connors no other hardware store has.Worth a few extra bucks to keep the big chain stores out. O'Connor doesn't seem to be replacing people with machines!

My wife and I go here all the time (at least once a month). Staff is extremely helpful, across the entire store. Always have better-than-average coupons sent to you in their mailed flyers if you are a frequent shopper. Was a TrueValue franchise, but they recently switched to Ace. Shop there and you support dozens of local high-schools and college undergrads from Billerica area. That alone is worth shopping here rather than a longer drive to Lowe's in Lowell or Home Depot in Tewksbury.

Was good over all, went in to look for a step ladder, found one at a good price. The check out clerk was on her phone and didnt really pay much attention to us or even offer us a bag for our smaller purchases.

The experience was ok. My spare keys were made in a timely manner. Customer service could have been a bit better. Items expensive here.
