In the November 3, 2011 edition of the Middleboro Gazette, Mark Belanger’s “Bumpkin’s Corner” column gave us – South Shore Computer Repair – a terrific shout-out about the computer he recently bought from us. While the publicity was awesome (thanks, Mark!) the article was important on another level: Pointing out the importance of shopping local. By shopping local, you are supporting the “mom and pop” stores and services that help make Middleboro a great place to live and work. A lot of the things that you might be looking for – and would probably head out to the big-box stores to get – can be found right here in the Middleboro/Lakeville area.
