Royal Hardware & Mill Stores

Royal Hardware & Mill Stores is located at No.17 on Kaleeswara Mill Road. It’s an older part of the city, and you can still feel the history of the mills when you walk down the street. Our shop is packed from floor to ceiling with all sorts of hardware. We’ve got bins of bolts, stacks of tools, and just about everything else you’d expect in a mill store. It’s a bit of a maze inside, to be honest. If you’re looking for something specific, you usually have to ask because it’s probably tucked away on a high shelf somewhere. We don't have a fancy computerized inventory system that works perfectly. Most of the time, we just know where things are because we’ve been here so long. People from the local workshops come in all the time for supplies. We spend a lot of our day just chatting with customers and helping them find the right size of something. It’s a dusty job, and your hands never stay clean for long. We don't put on any airs about being a premium store. We’re just a local hardware shop on a busy road. We open up in the morning, sweep the front, and wait for the first customer to come in. It’s a simple life, but it keeps us busy and we like the people around here.
