I am participating in this contest, Steemit Challenge Season 29 Week 01 – Hardware Store. Special thanks to @solaymann for organizing such a wonderful contest.


*Selim Hardware & Tools*

Where is it located and how to get here?

Selim Hardware & Tools is located at Alhaj Dr. Monsur Ali Road, Old Bazar, Parbatipur. Anyone can easily reach this place from Parbatipur town by taking a van or auto-rickshaw to the Old Bazar area. The shop is situated beside the main road, so it is easy to find.


*Inside view of the shop*

A brief history of the store, Founder, established period, if there is any communication medium.

This shop is a very old and well-known hardware store in this area and has been running for many years. The shop is owned and managed by Mr. Mohammad Asadul Haque Selim. He runs the shop all by himself, without any employees, and takes care of everything personally. Unfortunately, we forgot to ask about the exact establishment year of the shop. For communication, the owner has provided his mobile number inside the shop: 01713-784861. The shop remains open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, though it may not stay open all the time.

Provide clear details about their activities. How many employees are engaged in what work?

This shop sells almost all kinds of hardware items. Here you can find water motors, pipes, ropes, locks and keys, nuts and bolts, paint, glue, brushes, grinding machines, and many other hardware tools. There are no employees in this shop. The owner himself handles customer service, sales, and management. Although managing everything alone is difficult, he prefers not to hire any workers.

What are the facilities like? For example, electricity, security, etc.

The shop has electricity, but there are no special facilities. We did not notice any CCTV cameras, and there is no parking space in front of the shop. Customers usually stop their vehicles on the roadside. So, overall facilities are quite limited.

Which product did you purchase from here? It should be shown.

I did not purchase anything from this shop today.
I visited mainly to check water motors for my home. Some motors were good but expensive, while some were cheaper but lower in quality.
So I decided to survey the market first, as checking quality and price before purchasing is very important.

It would be great if you could provide your review feedback on how their service is.

The service of this shop is quite good. The owner behaves very politely with customers and sells products at fair prices. Most hardware items are available here, which is very convenient.

However, there is no parking, no CCTV security, and the products inside the shop are not well organized. If the items were arranged more neatly, the shop would look better and attract more customers.

Overall, this is a useful local hardware shop, and with some improvements, it could become even better.
