Nothing makes a neighborhood like a neighborhood hardware store. Formerly known as Parks True Value, Back Bay Hardware is part of the True Value cooperative but changed its name in early 2010. The store first opened for business in 1943 and has been at its current location on Newbury Street since 1979. From electrical and plumbing supplies to paint and painting accessories, light bulbs and batteries, you can find most anything you need in this compact, little space. Ask one of the sales staff to help you find what you need and don't forget to visit the official website for handy home repair tips. Back Bay Hardware is open seven days a week.
