Standard Tools Stores

Meena Bazar is a very busy world. Our shop is at Number 244 on the ground floor. If you know the New Market near Jama Masjid you know how crowded it gets every single day. Getting to the shop in the morning is a real task with all the rickshaws and people walking around. Standard Tools Stores has been sitting in this spot for years. We sell all kinds of hand tools and different hardware items that people need for repairs. The shop is not very big so we use every inch of the walls to hang our stock. It gets a bit dusty because of the constant crowds and the construction nearby but we try to wipe things down when we have a free minute. People come from all over for things they cannot find in their local hardware shops. We do not do any big advertisements. Most customers just find us by walking through the market or because someone told them we would have the right wrench or hammer. Lunch is usually brought from home and eaten right at the counter between serving customers. It is noisy here with the calls to prayer and the shouting of the hawkers outside. We deal with many small contractors and mechanics. Sometimes the inventory gets a bit messy but we know where everything is kept. It is a simple life and we just stay here until the market thins out.
