Eric Owen hardware store Porthmadog
At the end of September 2012 Eric Owen hardware shop is to cease trading.
Mr Owen set up his business, with his sister Elsie, in 1923.
Seven years later he erected a warehouse and office in Tremadog, employing two men, a warehouseman and a lorry driver.
He hired a room in the town hall for market day in Porthmadog and eventually bought 105 High Street as an office.
After the Second World War the shop at 105 High Street was increasing its potential for selling hardware, small agricultural tools and other items and in 1961 he moved his company to 117 High Street.
I will miss this shop as they have any knick knack possible there.I am going to miss buying special screws and having them put in a brown paper bag each priced individually.
Eric Owen has been trading for a long time, they even had an animal feeding store in Tremadog,they also had a shed to store agricultural machinery ready to be sold in Tremadog.
