Kabir Enterprises

We are situated on the first floor at 2942/8 Hamilton Road. You have to walk up a narrow set of stairs to get to us, which can be a bit of a workout if you’re carrying boxes. Being in Kashmere Gate means it’s always crowded and noisy, but once you get upstairs to our office, it’s a little bit calmer. We have stuff piled up everywhere because we handle quite a lot of volume. There’s barely enough room to walk between the stacks sometimes. We spend a lot of time on the phone talking to suppliers and customers. It’s a lot of coordination. The windows are usually open to let in some air, but that also lets in the sound of all the horns from the street below. We have a small crew here, and we all know each other well. We don't bother with fancy decor or anything like that. The walls are mostly covered with calendars and old notes. It’s a functional space for a functional business. We focus on getting the orders out on time. Sometimes the delivery guys have a hard time finding a place to park downstairs, so we have to hurry down to meet them. It’s a bit of a scramble every day, but we’re used to it by now.
