Pradeep Hardware & Paints

We've been at 30th Cross for a while now. It's a busy spot in Bilal Nagar. Mostly we just sell buckets of paint and some tools. People come in when they have a leak or want to refresh a room. We try to keep what people need on the shelves so they don't have to go far. It gets dusty in here sometimes with all the construction nearby on Pillana Garden Road. We spend a lot of time just moving boxes around and helping folks pick out colors. Sometimes we run out of stuff, but we usually get it back in a day or two. It's just a regular shop. Nothing fancy. My cousin helps out when it's busy. We know most of the people who walk in. They usually live just a few streets away. It's a lot of manual work, lifting heavy things and counting nails. We don't really have a big staff, just us. The shop stays open pretty late most days because that's when people finish work and realize they forgot something for their home. We have different brands of paint stacked up in the back. Sometimes the labels are peeling off, but the paint inside is fine. It's just how a hardware store is. We deal with plumbers and electricians too. They always seem to be in a hurry. We just do our thing here in Thergaon and try to stay organized. It’s a simple life selling hardware.
