If you have ever met Maurice "Moe" Fieldstein, you would understand why
thousands of customers have flocked to his store every year since 1962. Friendly and sincere, Moe Fieldstein always puts the customer first.

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting his hardware store in Longmeadow, MA. Shelves were stocked neatly, with all the latest items. What I also noticed was that Moe Fieldstein carried many hard-to-find items. I asked longtime customer of 25 years, Bill Woods of Woods Professional Painting, why he came to Brightwood Hardware for so many years. His reply was that he comes for the convenience, friendly service, and items that are not stocked at the other hardware stores.

Moe Fieldstein must be pretty good to work for, too. Dick Skinner, Moe's store manager, has been with Moe for over 50 years. Brightwood Hardware has been in business since 1921, and this is only the second generation of ownership. That might be some kind of world record.

If you're ever in the Greater Springfield area, and you ever need anything from light bulbs to cat food, be sure to stop by and see Moe Fieldstein. You will be glad you did!
