Agrawal Hardware Stores

Agrawal Hardware Stores is right by the Taxi Stand in Vishaswer Ganj. We are very close to the BJP office, which is a big landmark for people trying to find us. Being near the taxi stand means it is never quiet. There is always someone honking or a driver calling out. It is a very lively part of town. The shop is full of things from floor to ceiling. It might look a bit messy to someone from the outside, but we know where everything is. Mostly. Sometimes we have to hunt for a specific item for a bit. The dust from the street comes in every time someone walks through the door. We’ve stopped trying to keep it perfectly clean. It’s a hardware store, after all. People come in with all sorts of questions and we just talk to them like neighbors. Because a lot of them are. Vishaswer Ganj has a lot of history and we feel like a part of the bricks and mortar here. We don't have a website or any of that stuff. If people want to see what we have, they just come down to the taxi stand. We stay open late most nights because that’s when people are heading home and realize they forgot something. It’s a busy, noisy, honest way to make a living. We’ve been through a lot of changes in the area but we stay put. It’s about being there when someone needs a specific tool.
