Saraogi Hardware Stores

If you come down to A.G. Road, you’ll find Saraogi Hardware Stores right on the Main Road. It’s a busy spot and we’ve been here quite a long time. The shelves are packed with all sorts of things, from tiny screws to heavy tools that stay in the back. Sometimes it takes us a minute to find exactly what someone is looking for because there is just so much stuff crammed into the space. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just a hardware shop where people come when something breaks at home or they are building something new. The floors are a bit uneven and there is always a layer of sawdust or metal shavings somewhere. We see the same faces every week, mostly local contractors or guys who live nearby and need a quick fix for a leak. The traffic on Main Road is always humming in the background, so we have to talk a bit louder to be heard over the trucks. We usually have a radio playing somewhere in the back, though it’s mostly just for background noise. We open up early and stay late because that’s when people need things. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting boxes and counting out nails by hand. We don't do things the high-tech way here. We just know where everything is and try to help out whoever walks through the door as best as we can.
