New Sunshine Hardware

If you go behind the RTO office in Yeshwantpur on Eksar Road, you will find our hardware shop at number 1056. It’s a packed space with shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling. We have everything from long PVC pipes to tiny little brass screws that are hard to find. The floor is concrete and usually has some dust from the cement bags we move around. We don't have a computerized inventory system or anything; we just know where everything is because we put it there ourselves on the racks. When a plumber or a local guy comes in looking for a specific valve, we can usually dig it out from a bin in the back after a bit of searching. It gets quite hot in the shop during the summer, so we have a big pedestal fan that blows papers around if we aren't careful with them. We handle a lot of heavy items, so our backs usually ache by the time we close up for the evening. We don't do fancy displays, just stacks of buckets and rolls of wire wherever they fit. The neighborhood folks know us as the place to get a spare key cut or to buy a can of paint for a quick touch-up. We try to keep the prices fair and just give people what they need for their repairs. It’s a lot of lifting and counting, but we like being part of the Yeshwantpur community every day.
