Citizen Kitchen Ware

Our shop is at Fatima Nagar 1. It’s a place filled with the sound of metal hitting metal. We have stacks of stainless steel pots, brass items, and all kinds of kitchen tools. The shelves are packed tight, and sometimes things are even sitting on the floor in boxes because there's no room left. It’s a shiny place when the sun hits the displays in the morning. People come in looking for something specific, like a heavy pressure cooker or just a simple spoon. We spend our time showing different sizes and explaining how the lids fit. It’s not a fancy showroom. It’s more of a warehouse feel where everything is meant to be used. The floor is stone and it stays relatively cool even when it's hot outside. We have a small counter where we wrap things in old newspapers and tie them with string for the customers to take home. Sometimes it’s a young couple setting up their first kitchen and other times it’s an old grandmother looking for a particular kind of pan she’s used for thirty years. We just stay here and keep the stock organized as best as we can. It’s a lot of lifting and moving heavy boxes around. The street outside is usually busy with people heading toward the main part of Fatima Nagar. We just keep the doors open and wait for whoever walks in next.
