Sivakami Hardwares

You can find us over at 87-46 on Pammal Main Road. It’s a busy spot in Pammal and we have been here for a good while. The shop is filled with all sorts of things, from small nails to big tools. It’s one of those places where if you look long enough, you’ll find what you need. We don’t really have a system like the big stores do. I usually know where everything is, even if the shelves look a bit crowded. People from around the neighborhood come in for everything. Maybe they have a leaky pipe or they’re building something in the backyard. We just hand them what they need and talk for a bit. It’s a local shop feel. My son helps out behind the counter when he isn't at school. The mornings are usually the busiest when the workers are heading to their jobs. We open up early and stay late most days. It gets a bit hot inside with all the metal and boxes around. We don’t do any big advertising. People just know we are here on the main road. The street outside is always noisy with buses and bikes. Sometimes we run out of something and have to wait for the next delivery. That's just how a small hardware business works. We do our best to keep the basic stuff in stock. It’s a simple life running a store like this. We appreciate the people who have been coming to us for years and know us by name.
