60 Years of Service.... and Counting
Victor Babel, Sr. and his wife Mickey, opened the first Babel's store in 1950 in his hometown of Norwood, MA. Babel's quickly developed a reputation for quality paint and wallpaper products, personalized service, and attention to detail.
Twenty years later - Victor and Mickey's youngest son Vic, Jr., with the support and partnership of his wife Jeanne - the second generation of Babel's took over the business and began seeking opportunities for growth.
In the early 1990s it became clear that Babel's was not just a paint and wallpaper store. With the addition of professional designers, it had grown into a full-service decorating center. In 1994, the store name was officially changed to Babel's Paint & Decorating Store.
In 1996 Vic and Jeanne opened their second store in Jeanne's hometown of Needham, MA, followed three years later with the addition of the Foxboro store. In 2005, Babels acquired a paint store in Canton at Cobb’s Corner, which they quickly renovated to include design services.
From 400 square feet in 1950, Babel's stores have grown to four locations. With more than 30 employees, Babels is pleased to continue its path of growth, success, and service to the community.
