Hardware stores in Northeast Trinidad experienced a steady flow of customers as they were allowed to reopen for business on Monday.
Manager of Authentic Builders General Hardware on O'Mara Road, Arima, Harry Harrinarine, said the flow of customers had been steady since they opened.
"Customers have been coming in pretty steadily. A lot of PVC fittings, more toiletry fittings and toiletry selling.
“For the three weeks hardware stores were closed, people were in problems with that, because even when we were closed we were getting umpteen calls with that, if we could help them, just a few fittings they want. If we had home by us we would give them, no charge, just to help out the people."
