“I enjoy working with Watson’s Home Hardware and working with the customers. You get to meet so many people and build lasting relationships with those you wouldn’t otherwise meet. When you have worked with the company as long as I have, you get to know where everything is in the store, learn lots and feel comfortable selling.”

“Working at Watson’s was a great job for me because I got to gain experience working as a team, customer service, organization skills and so much more.”
– Anonymous Student, Gorrie Location
“We love selling BBQ’s at the Watsons Goderich location, but every BBQ I sell isn’t just a transaction, it’s a relationship. My favourite work day is when one of my customers comes in for spices or pellets and we can share our latest recipe, tips or tricks. My best sales day can’t compete with the feeling I get when a customer asks my advice on their next brisket cook. That’s trust! And that’s the kind of community and relationship that is encouraged and expected at Watsons!”
