G J Industries

You’ll find us at 151/G on Avenue Road, right near the S K R Market. If you’ve ever been to this part of town, you know it’s incredibly crowded and noisy. There are people, hand-carts, and vehicles everywhere you look. Our shop is just one of many, tucked away with a lot of metal goods and industrial supplies stacked up. It’s a very old building. The stairs are narrow and the lighting is a bit dim inside the shop. We spend most of the day dealing with people who are looking for specific hardware or industrial items they can't find elsewhere. We don’t have any fancy displays. Everything is just kept in plastic bins or on heavy wooden shelves. It’s a lot of dust and noise from the street outside. We’ve been at 151/G for many years now. We know all the other shopkeepers around here. It’s a tough place to work because of the heat and the crowds, but it’s where all the trade happens. We don't have a computer system for everything; we still use a lot of handwritten receipts and old ledgers. Sometimes it takes a minute to find what you’re looking for because we have so much stock crammed into such a small space. It’s a simple operation. We open the shutters early in the morning and stay until the market starts to quiet down in the evening. There is a lot of tea drinking and shouting to get heard.
