On entering this small store I became aware of the Tardis like place that it is, since my list contained electrical needs, glass replacement, glue, and brass brush to clean metal. All requirement were satisfied including advise. A far better choice than a large departmental type store where you can never find help and have to walk miles to find what you need for a small project. If your a home owner this is the place to start for that thing that will silence the wife and earn you Boy Scout point!

This is one of those shops which is so handy its hard to explain. They're officially a hardware…read moreshop and they're tucked away in a residential street but they're very very busy and rightly so. They sell everything you can think of that's remotely hardware-ish and although the prices are more than, say, the supermarket, they're dead handy so you don't mind. They're reliably open, they have a lot of staff so can always serve you and advise you. They don't mind you bobbing in just for advice, even when you don't buy anything. There's usually some kind of parking along the nearby streets so that's not a problem. There's a reassuring smell of hardware-shop-timber when you walk in - its defintely a man's domain! Lovely.

Waited till 10.22am with two other customer outside shop till shop keeper came and mumbled…read moresomething about a few minutes late then said he would be a few more minutes and kept us waiting another 10 minutes outside the shop till he unlocked the door and stood at the entrance declaring who is next? 35 minutes in all for me to be served. Boy did I wonder if he wanted my business, but the man standing outside with me said this happens all the time, so I guess the answer is a qualified no! Since I don't know how this hardware shop works but guessed it was a help your self and pay at the till because of the layout I was wrong. The passageways were blocked with product and here was the shop keeper demanding what did I want! I found this not very helpful since I am use to just wandering around picking up my purchases as I go. The net result was I was out on the street feeling like I had forgotten several items, and I had! Now I can only think this guy is not sales savvy, as if he had let me in his store ten minutes earlier I would have brought 400-500 percent more items than I had. Maybe he thought if he kept his customer at the door we would not shoplift! Shop lifting is more of a challenge unless they are items near the door! What a disappointment this store is but it's his business to run as he sees fit! Good luck mate with your plan! I won't be back well at least till 45 mins after you say your open.
