LAKEVILLE, MA — Ocean Spray Cranberries is headquartered here at 1 Ocean Spray Drive, and the town’s defining feature is the roughly 4,000-acre Assawompset Pond Complex, the largest natural freshwater body in Massachusetts and a drinking-water source for about 250,000 southeastern Massachusetts residents. The complex is also historically significant: the 1675 discovery of Wampanoag advisor John Sassamon’s body at Assawompset Pond is widely credited as a trigger for King Philip’s War.

How Hub Saves Lakeville 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 Lakeville, where corporate campuses, agricultural operations, and residential neighborhoods around the Assawompset Pond Complex all benefit from a single vendor rather than juggling several separate contracts.
Lakeville’s local facts are hard to top: Ocean Spray Cranberries is headquartered here at 1 Ocean Spray Drive, and the town’s defining feature is the roughly 4,000-acre Assawompset Pond Complex, the largest natural freshwater body in Massachusetts and a drinking-water source for about 250,000 southeastern Massachusetts residents. The complex is also historically significant, tied to the events that helped trigger King Philip’s War in 1675. Hub’s licensed guards support both Lakeville’s corporate presence and its residential communities around the ponds.
