Cottins Hardware & Rental is the best hardware store in town and in Lawrence. It is a local, family-owned store, not a giant corporation. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. They always offer to help find what is needed and go the extra mile with excellent customer service. They are as invested in customer success as the customers themselves. The store is also known for its wonderful community markets, like the farmers market in the parking lot, which is a huge community service. People feel like a person, not a transaction, at this store.
