I worked at Obashawns in high school. Still one of the best jobs I’ve ever had.

They spelt it how your supposed to say it. Either way don’t buy grain from the one in Bristol nh, literally 2 times as much as it is at agway per 50lb bag.

This thread is how I realized that while I've heard the name on the radio and from other people, I've never actually seen it written down.

They forgot the apostrophe. It's O'BaSawn's - Irish for son of the son of Sean.

It's fine actually, nobody in the world knows how to spell it. That's why their website is hardware store dot com.

I always pronounced ah-Buchanan because I’m dyslexic and can’t read. Then my boyfriend pronounced it for me and I still don’t say it right.

We always call it Aubie's / Obie's in our family (and Hannie's, too, for that matter), because we have to give everything a nickname.

Anyone else out there call it Aubie's/Obie's?

On first reading, I thought it said "Obachan" and then I realized there's no "Grandma Hardware stores"...(Obachan or Obaachan is Japanese for Grandmother). 😂😂😂

I loved the obashawn in Sanford. Wish it hadn’t closed.
