A letter from Tom Clemons to Chelsea about the closing of Chelsea Village Hardware

After 40 years in the hardware business and working at the same location (11 years owning it) it was a very, very hard decision to have to close forever.

It was a dream and a pleasure to have served so many loyal people to which I say, thank you for the opportunity.

I gave it my all and put everything I had into it. I hope that support for downtown businesses will grow and not let this happen to anyone else.

Thank you again, Chelsea.
Sincerely,
Tom and Pattie Clemons

(Publisher’s note: The business closed its doors on Saturday, Jan. 5.)
