Guddman Merchandise Company

You’ll find us at 21 B Hindustan Road. It’s an old building, but it works for what we do. Guddman Merchandise Company has been operating out of this spot for some time now. The street outside is usually lined with parked cars and people walking to the local shops. Inside our place, it’s a mix of boxes, samples, and stacks of paperwork that never seems to get shorter. We handle different kinds of merchandise, so one day we might be looking at household items and the next it’s something totally different. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is kept. The ceiling fan wobbles a bit when it's on high, but it keeps the air moving. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing out invoices by hand. It’s a very hands-on kind of business. We don't spend money on fancy signs or marketing tricks. People find us because they know we are here on Hindustan Road. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the back door, so we have to move the stock away from that wall. It’s just one of those things you deal with when you’re running a local business. We keep things simple and just try to stay on top of the orders as they come in.
