Shiv Iron Stores

You can find us over at Plot No. H-47 in Sector-9. It’s a bit of a trek if you aren't used to this part of town, but we’ve been here long enough that most locals know the way. We mostly handle iron rods, angles, and heavy pipes. The inventory moves in and out depending on what’s being built around the sector. It’s heavy work, and by the end of the day, everyone’s pretty tired. We aren't big on decorations here; it’s mostly just racks of metal and a small desk where we keep the ledger. Sometimes the rain gets in a little bit under the shutters, so we have to move things around to keep the rust off. It’s just how it is. We start early, usually before the sun gets too high, to get the heavy lifting done while it's still cool. There’s no air conditioning, just the breeze coming through the open front. We know the other shop owners on this block pretty well, and we often share a jug of water or some news about the latest price changes. It’s a straightforward business. You need iron, we weigh it out, and you take it away. We don't have a website or anything like that, just the shop and our reputation with the regulars who’ve been coming here for years. It’s a bit messy, but we know where everything is. The ledger is usually a mess, but we never lose track.
