Shahina Hardware Electricals

If you head down to Sukkadam, you’ll find Shahina Hardware Electricals in the N. H. Complex. We are right opposite the C. T. C. Depot on the Bypass Road. It’s a loud area because of the buses, but it’s great for business because people can find us easily. We sell all sorts of hardware and electrical bits. We’ve got wires, switches, tools, and all those small things that people realize they’re missing halfway through a repair job. The shop is at number four. It’s pretty packed from floor to ceiling with stock. Sometimes it takes a minute to find the exact screw or bulb someone is asking for, but we usually get there. The shelves are a bit dusty and the light isn't the brightest, but it’s a hardware store, not a showroom. We spend a lot of time talking to local contractors or guys just trying to fix a leak at home. We don't use a computer for everything; a lot of our notes are still written in those big red books. When the weather gets hot, the fan just moves the warm air around, but we stay busy enough that we don’t notice it too much. It’s a straightforward way to make a living. We just sell what people need and try to stay organized enough to know when we’re running low on stock. That’s about all there is to it. We keep the shop open late most days because you never know when someone will need a fuse.
