Patel Marbles/Onix Enterprise

Our business is located at Gota Chokdi, right across from the Umiya Weigh Bridge. We’re on the Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway in Gota Gam. It’s a very busy stretch of road with lots of trucks passing through all day and night. We use the names Patel Marbles and Onix Enterprise for what we do here. Our location is quite practical because the weigh bridge is right there, which helps with the logistics of moving heavy marble. The yard is usually quite full of stock. It’s not a fancy showroom with air conditioning; it’s more of a working yard where you can see the actual materials as they are. We spend a lot of time outside, regardless of the weather, because that’s where the work is. Sometimes the highway noise makes it hard to hear, but we’re used to it by now. We’ve been in Gota Gam for a while and have seen the highway get bigger and busier every year. We aren't big on slogans or fancy talk. We just show people what we have and tell them the price. It’s a basic way of doing business, but it seems to work for us. People know they can find us here at the chokdi if they need stone or marble for their projects. We just keep our heads down and get the work done. It's dusty and loud, but it's where we've built our livelihood over these many years.
