Good Merchants

I'd like to compliment two local merchants for consistently providing good service. They both happen to be located across the street from the train station.

My family has used the Verizon store on Main Street for years and have always been impressed with their service. Recently I had to swap my phone, the keypad was shot due to too much texting, and Chad and Edward were extremely helpful.

On the other side of Herbert Ave. is Steve's Barber Shop. My sons and I started going there soon after he opened, it's almost a decade now, and it's a pleasant place to get a haircut.

Great Service!

After complaining bitterly about bad service I received from a couple of local merchants, Bobbie Polay, from the Chamber of Commerce, challenged me to post when I was wowed. So, here are two businesses that go above and beyond.

The first is Mama's Delight on Main Street. The food is very good and the service is great. The owner is unfailingly friendly and makes a meal there very enjoyable.

The second is Country Cleaners on Old Shore Road in the Stop & Shop shopping center. Don generously volunteered to dry clean the costumes from the Port Summer Show and, when there were more pieces than expected, refused to be paid for the difference. What a wonderful gesture!
