International Hardware Mart

We are located at No. 109 on the Main Road. It’s a prime spot, so we see a lot of foot traffic throughout the day. International Hardware Mart is a name that sounds big, but we’re really just a local shop filled with tools, fasteners, and all the bits and pieces you need to fix things. The shelves are packed. Sometimes it’s hard to find a specific screw, but we usually know exactly where it is. We don’t have a fancy inventory system on a computer; we just know our stock. We deal with everyone from contractors to people just trying to fix a leaky tap at home. We don't do fancy marketing. People come to us because they know we have what they need on the shelf. The Main Road is noisy, and the shop can get hot in the afternoons, but we keep the doors open. We've got a couple of helpers who have been with us for a long time. They’re good at what they do. We spend our time counting out nuts and bolts and chatting with the regulars. It’s a very hands-on business. We don't have a mission statement or anything like that. We just want to make sure the customers get the right hardware so they can finish their jobs. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living. We keep things basic and make sure the shop stays stocked. That is all we really care about here.
