Satna Machinery & Paints

Our shop, Satna Machinery & Paints, is at number 2, Hospital Road. It’s a very easy address to remember. Being on Hospital Road means there are always people moving about. We handle both machinery parts and different kinds of paints. It’s a bit of a mix, but it’s what people around here ask for. The shop isn't very wide, but it goes back a long way. We have shelves stacked high with cans and metal parts. Sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what a customer needs, but we usually know where everything is. We don't have any fancy computer systems for the inventory. We just look at the shelves. I took over the place from my uncle, and I’ve tried to keep it pretty much the same. We don't need to change things just for the sake of it. People like that they can come in and talk to us directly. No automated phones or anything. Just us. Hospital Road can get a bit congested with ambulances and traffic, but we are used to the noise. It’s part of being in this part of town. We stay open six days a week and sometimes a half day on Sundays if there is work to finish. The roof leaks a tiny bit when it pours, so we have to move some of the paint buckets. It is just a small quirk of the building we have lived with.
