T Murugan Steel Emporium

Our shop, T Murugan Steel Emporium, is located in Bhayander East at B-46. We are part of the Sardar Kunj Society in the Shanti Ganga Apartment building. Being right opposite the railway station means we get a lot of foot traffic and the constant noise of the local trains passing by. The shop itself is packed to the gills with stainless steel items. We have everything from small spoons to massive cooking pots. Sometimes the stacks get so high that it feels like they might tip over if you walk too fast. It’s a bright, shiny place because of all the metal reflecting the tube lights. We spend a lot of our time unpacking new stock or helping customers find a specific size of container. The floor is hard tile and your feet can get tired by the end of the day. We’ve been here for years, so we know many of the regulars who come in from the station. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are in the shop at once. We don't have a computer system for everything; a lot of it is still written down in a big book. When the monsoon comes, the rain drums loudly on the overhang outside and we have to move some of the stock back so it doesn't get splashed. It’s a simple, hardworking shop. We just provide what people need for their kitchens and don’t make a big fuss about it. The metal always stays cool to the touch.
