Kitabi Hardware Stores

Kitabi Hardware Stores is located at number 51 on Devaraja Mudali Street. If you know where the Kandasamy Koil Mat Shop is in Park Town, then you've basically found us. We are right in that busy stretch of the city where the streets are narrow and there’s always people moving about. The store is packed from floor to ceiling with all kinds of hardware stuff. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough room for everything, but we make it work. We've been here for a long time, and the building shows its age a bit, but it’s sturdy. We don't really do the whole modern retail thing with bright lights and fancy displays. It’s just a traditional hardware shop where you ask for what you need and we pull it from the shelf. I’ve spent most of my life behind this counter. You get to meet a lot of different people in Park Town, from contractors to homeowners just trying to fix a leaky pipe. We don't have a huge staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is hidden. It’s often loud outside with the traffic and the markets, but inside we just focus on the nuts and bolts. We aren't trying to be anything we're not. We just sell hardware and try to be helpful when someone has a question about a project they're working on. The old ceiling fan wobbles a bit, but it keeps the place cool enough.
