This thread is how I realized that while I've heard the name on the radio and from other people, I've never actually seen it written down.

It's fine actually, nobody in the world knows how to spell it. That's why their website is hardware store dot com.

On first reading, I thought it said "Obachan" and then I realized there's no "Grandma Hardware stores"...(Obachan or Obaachan is Japanese for Grandmother). 😂😂😂

We always call it Aubie's / Obie's in our family (and Hannie's, too, for that matter), because we have to give everything a nickname.

Anyone else out there call it Aubie's/Obie's?

They forgot the apostrophe. It's O'BaSawn's - Irish for son of the son of Sean.

I always pronounced ah-Buchanan because I’m dyslexic and can’t read. Then my boyfriend pronounced it for me and I still don’t say it right.
