Sri Parimala Hardware & General Stores

Our store is at No.874/2 in T Dasarahalli, and the easiest way to find us is to look for the city bus stop nearby. We’re right behind it, so we see hundreds of people waiting for their rides every single day. Because we’re a hardware and general store, we carry a bit of everything. You might find hammers and nails in one corner and soap or buckets in another. It’s a bit of a mix, but that’s what the people around here seem to need. The shop is quite deep, and the light doesn't always reach the very back, so we use some old tube lights to see. There’s always a bit of dust coming in from the road because of the buses pulling in and out, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the counters. It’s a noisy spot, but you get used to the sound of the engines and the conductors shouting out destinations. We don't have any big corporate goals; we just want to make sure we have the items our neighbors are looking for. Sometimes someone will pop in just to ask for the time or directions while they wait for their bus. We’ve been here long enough that we know the bus schedules almost as well as the drivers do. It’s a simple, local business, and we’re happy just keeping the shelves full and the door open. Usually, we close up once the last bus rush is over.
