Guru Nanak Hardware & Mill Store

You can find us at 91 Shalimar Bagh in the B Block. We are a hardware and mill store, which basically means we have thousands of small items packed into every available inch of our shop. From nuts and bolts to larger tools, everything has its place, even if it looks a bit disorganized to a stranger. We spend most of the morning dusting off the shelves and counting out screws for customers. It’s a local shop, so we know many of the people who come in by their first names. They come here when they are fixing something at home or if they need a specific part for their machinery. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us who know where everything is hidden. Sometimes it takes a minute to find a specific size of washer, but we usually get there in the end. The shop has a smell of metal and wood that never really goes away. We don't do any big promotions or sales events. People just know we are here when they need hardware. The counter is old and scratched from years of heavy items being dragged across it. We like it that way because it shows we’ve been working hard for a long time. It’s a steady kind of life, opening up the shutters in the morning and helping whoever stops by with their repair projects or building needs until we close for dinner.
