In business since 1945 and situated in the buildings that once housed historic Wakefield's banks, Damon's Hardware is a South Kingstown staple. Consequently, it is no wonder why you might get caught up in conversation during your visit to this down-home hardware store. Offering everything from your average nuts and bolts, to screen repair, gardening supplies, and even floor coverings, Damon's Hardware has a staff that is quite well-prepared to provide help and advice for any project. The store has been a family-run business since its inception, so customers also enjoy the added benefit of solid referrals. "We have an entire book of contractors and professionals we like to recommend," says co-owner Antonia Chappell.
