Prabhat Mill Stores Co.

You can find Prabhat Mill Stores Co. right on the ground floor at 138 Canning Street. If you know the area, you know how crowded it gets with all the shops and people moving about at all hours. We’ve got a lot of stuff packed into this space. It might look a bit messy to someone walking in for the first time, but we generally know where everything is kept. From belts to pulleys and various bits of hardware, the shelves are pretty much full from floor to ceiling. It gets dusty in the corners, and there isn’t a lot of room to walk around, but that’s just how it is in an old mill store. We spend most of our mornings opening up crates and checking what stock came in. Usually, customers come in looking for a specific part for a machine that broke down, and they're often in a big hurry to get it fixed. We try to find what they need as fast as possible so they can get back to their work. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting heavy boxes and counting out small parts. The fans are always humming to keep the air moving, though it stays quite warm in here during the summer months. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who have been doing this for years. We aren't trying to be anything special, just a reliable place on the street where people can get their supplies.
