Competing Easier than Staying Downtown

Sid’s Hardware decided life between two big box hardware stories is easier than life in downtown Brooklyn.

After 20 years, the legendary hardware store has moved from Jay Street to a Gowanus location between a Home Depot and a Lowe’s.

“It’s more convenient for the people who shop here,” Sharda Ramcharan tells The Ink.

“We have a parking lot, we don’t have to worry, and it’s basically the same.”

Ramcharan did, however, concede that a lot of people missed the downtown location.
