Goel Chemicals

Our shop is at 102 Cantt Market. It is a busy place because of all the other stores around us. We deal in chemicals, which means we have a lot of barrels and containers stacked up. The air always has a bit of a sharp smell to it, but you stop noticing after five minutes. We’ve been here for a while. It’s a small team, just me and a couple of others who handle the heavy lifting. We don’t have a big showroom or anything. It’s mostly just rows of drums and shelves full of smaller bottles. Most of the people who come here are looking for specific things for their own small businesses or workshops. We spend a lot of time on the phone checking prices and talking to suppliers. Cantt Market can be a bit of a mess with all the trucks coming and going, especially on Mondays. We just try to keep our corner organized, though it’s hard with all the inventory arriving. We don't do any flashy advertising. People usually find us through word of mouth or because they were already in the market looking for supplies. Sometimes we stay late to finish up the ledger or to wait for a late delivery that got stuck in traffic. It is a straightforward business. We provide the chemicals people ask for and that is about it. It isn't a glamorous job, but it is what we know how to do and it pays the bills. The old desk in the corner has seen better days, but it’s still standing.
