V. Superior Hardware Co.

If you head down to 54/A Sarang Street, you will find V. Superior Hardware Co. tucked in among the other shops. Sarang Street is a narrow place and it always feels like there is something happening outside. We have been selling hardware here for quite some time. The shelves are packed with all kinds of stuff like tools, screws, and metal fittings. It can look a bit messy to an outsider, but we know exactly where everything is kept. It’s an old-fashioned kind of shop. We don't have a computer system for every little thing; we mostly just remember or check the boxes. People come in looking for a specific bolt or a particular tool, and we spend time digging it out for them. It gets quite warm in the summers, so we usually have a small fan behind the counter. We talk to a lot of contractors and local handymen who stop by every day. The floor is concrete and has a few cracks from moving heavy items around for years. We open up early and usually stay until the sun goes down. There isn’t much space for a big sign, so you have to look for the number 54/A. It’s a simple way to make a living, just providing the hardware that people need to fix their own places. We aren't trying to be a big chain store, just a reliable spot on the street.
