Arihant Electric & Hardware Stores

Arihant Electric & Hardware Stores is located in Santacruz East, right across from the 41590 area. It’s a small shop packed with all sorts of things like wires, switches, boxes of nails, and tools hanging from the walls. We don’t have a lot of empty space because we try to keep a bit of everything on hand for the people who live and work around here. The shelves go all the way up to the ceiling, so we are always using a ladder to reach things. It’s a bit dusty, and sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly where a specific screw is kept. The street outside is usually busy with people walking by or cars honking, so it’s never really quiet. We spend the day talking to customers who need a quick fix for something at home or contractors looking for supplies. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights; it’s just a regular hardware store where you can find what you need. We keep a ledger on the counter and there is always a cup of tea nearby. Santacruz is a lively neighborhood, and we feel like a small part of it. We don't do anything flashy, we just open up in the morning and help folks find the right parts until it's time to pull down the shutters at night. It is a lot of work but it keeps us busy.
