Beacon Steels

Our shop is number 157 over in Sector 20, Block B. It's right in the Motia Khan area of Fatehgarh Sahib. It’s a decent-sized space, mostly filled with steel stock. We spend most of our time moving things around to make room for new arrivals. It’s not a fancy part of town, just a lot of industrial shops and warehouses grouped together. We started out small and just stayed here because the location works for the local builders. The floor is concrete and always has a bit of metal dust on it. We don't really have a staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is kept. If someone comes in looking for a specific size, we usually have to dig through the piles to find it. It's physical work, and by the evening, we are pretty tired. We don't spend much on advertising; people usually find us through word of mouth or by just driving through the sector. Sometimes it gets quiet in the afternoons, so we sit out front and watch the trucks go by. The weather can be a bit rough in the winter, gets quite chilly in the warehouse, but we keep moving to stay warm. It’s a simple life running a steel shop. We don't have any big corporate goals, just keeping the shop open and making sure the inventory is right for whoever walks in. It takes time to get the stock levels just right.
