Mehta Hardware And Stores

If you head up to the first floor at 17 Singanna Naicken Street, that is where we keep everything. Mehta Hardware and Stores isn't a massive place, but we try to cram as much as we can onto the shelves. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs, and sometimes it gets a bit crowded if a few people come in at once. We’ve got boxes of nails, hinges, tools, and all sorts of bits and pieces stacked up to the ceiling. It can be a bit hard to find things if you don’t know where to look, but we usually know exactly which pile a specific screw is hidden in. Singanna Naicken Street is always humming with people and noise, so it’s never really quiet here. We spend a lot of time just counting stock or helping someone figure out what size bolt they actually need. It’s funny how many people come in not quite sure what they’re looking for until they see it. We don’t have a website or any of that, just the shop and the counters. It’s been this way for a long time. Some days are slow, others we can barely keep up with the questions. We drink a lot of tea while we work. It’s just a normal hardware store, nothing too special about it, but we try to keep the stuff people actually need in stock.
