Cottins Hardware & Rental — Local services in Lawrence

The Farmer's Market is lacking in produce and good baked goods and a variety of vendors. *I prefer the Saturday Lawrence Market for a good variety. There's one Vendor that I like there, and that is Fieldstone Farm. They have yummy bread, various tinctures, and home grown produce. They are kind and they have a heart of gold. Do check them out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There was one vendor, that sold, "Organic Goddess Skincare and "Homemade with Love," baked goods was an amazing vendor. 😍 I really enjoyed doing business with her. She was a five star class act Spiritual Healer who also does amazing energy medicine. Her vibe is love. 💕 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unfortunately, she was asked to leave after the gluten and taste free girl, got jealous of her popular, yummy baked goods business, and she had her railroaded out of there.

Honestly, the gluten free girl named Jolene, ⭐, has very toxic energy. I wouldn't want to ingest her negative energies or her bland baked goods. I preferred the vendor she ran out of there who had "Homemade With Love," baked goods.

I'm surprised that the owner of Cottins stooped that low, and asked her to leave without giving her a warning. It was very odd business management. Organic Goddess Skincare, OG, and Handmade With Love, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, was very kind and loving to everyone. There's no reason to be unkind to anyone like that. She had a heart centered business and all of her products are infused with peace and love energy.

I believe in due process and justice for all. And for that I give Cottin's Hardware and Farmers...

Not sure if the initial experience I had was just an off day, but when I came in the second time I felt so welcomed and incurred positive emotions. I thought maybe I’d receive backlash for my initial negative review but it was the total opposite! I got asked multiple times if I had questions and needed help finding a product. By the time I got to the register I was given a gift certificate that I happened to use and was apologized to with genuine sincerity. I judged too quickly and apologize, thank you for restoring my positive outlook for the store and employees. Definitely recommending this store and will be back in the...

If you want high quality goods and helpful, knowledgeable staff, you can't go wrong with Cottins. The amount of stuff they fit into a relatively small store is amazing, but the store doesn't feel cramped or disorganized. It's true that the prices are sometimes higher than at one of the big box stores, but you get what you pay for and Cottins has quality. The extra dollar or two buys you far more durability than the cheap tools you get elsewhere. The store is not just locally owned, but an active presence in the community. There's a great farmer's market in the back parking lot on Thursdays, for example. So shopping at Cottins not only benefits you, but also supports a valuable local business and, by extension,...
