Chandan Electric Corporation

Chandan Electric Corporation has been located at 89 Princess Street for quite a few years now. We are up on the second floor of the Peerbhoy Building. If you’ve ever walked down Princess Street, you know it’s a hub for all sorts of hardware and electrical things, so we fit right in. Being on the second floor means we don’t get as many random walk-ins as the street-level shops, but our regulars know the way up. The building has that old feel to it, which we actually quite like. Inside, we have rows of shelves filled with electrical components. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes when we have a lot of stock coming in. We don't have a big reception area or anything. You just walk in and we're usually there at the back or moving boxes around. It’s a lot of manual work, checking lists and making sure we have what people are asking for. Princess Street is always noisy and full of energy, but once you get up to the second floor, it’s a little quieter. We spend our days mostly filling orders and talking to other traders in the building. It’s an honest way to spend the day. We’ve seen many businesses come and go on this street, but we’re still here, doing our thing in the Peerbhoy Building. It is a solid spot and we have no plans of moving anytime soon. There is always someone working nearby.
