Hub Security and Investigative Group provides trusted security in Holliston, MA, pairing licensed guards with genuine local knowledge of the community.
HOLLISTON, MA — Holliston was once the largest producer of shoes in the United States, and the empty Goodwill Shoe Company factories still stand along Water Street as a reminder of that industrial history. Today the town is known for a very different landmark: an American sycamore grown from a seed that flew to the moon on Apollo 14, now planted at the Holliston Police Station.

How Hub Saves Holliston Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Holliston, where businesses along the town’s commercial corridors and industrial parks can bundle daytime and overnight coverage under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Holliston’s own history is genuinely distinctive: the town was once the largest producer of shoes in the United States, and the empty Goodwill Shoe Company factories still stand along Water Street as a reminder of that industrial past. Today Holliston is known for a very different landmark — an American sycamore grown from a seed that flew to the moon on Apollo 14, now planted at the Holliston Police Station. Hub’s licensed guards support both Holliston’s historic mill buildings and its modern neighborhoods.
