There are floor staff everywhere to answer questions. In response to the previous review about chatty cashiers -- this isn't a chain store. It's a local place with lifetime customers including other businesses, contractors, homeowners and vacationers, too. It's a community business where we can take a moment to acknowledge each other with a "hello how are you." If the reviewer was that put out they could have easily said something to the (always present) owner rather than complain about it here. The friendly cashiers are long female time employees who will not only ring up your purchase but are very knowledgable about the products sold and where to find them.

One day I asked why she wouldn't wait on me. She began to berate me and call me names. The same thing happened the next time i was in and she added I was never to speak to her again. I spoke with the manager and explained the treatment I'd been receiving. I wanted him to talk to her about the way I'm being treated. He said that I must have done something to upset her. I informed him that she has waited on me for years with no problems.. I've been merely making purchases and leaving. He said he felt she was in the right and we agreed I should take my business elsewhere. That said, I recommend One Stop Building Supply.

I'd almost make an excuse to go visit this place. I will certainly keep giving these folks my business.

This is a fantastic little local business that redefines the concept of "shopping small" by offering a wide array of locally made products - everything from handmade clothing to soaps and creams. The next time you have a present to buy for someone, the Purple Cow should be the first stop you make. Speaking of presents, they even have a section of birthday and special occasion cards, which makes it an easy one stop shop for all your gifting needs. While a lot of the inventory tends to lean toward the yogi-earthy-crunchy set, they have a great section of toys and stuffed animals for the young and young at heart, plus a whole lot of classy jewelry that's also made by local artisans. The Purple Cow is a must visit if you find yourself in Wakefield, RI, and need to purchase a memorable gift for a loved one, or simply just want to browse around a truly wonderful small local business!
