About Us
Serving Cape Town Since 1954
A family-owned hardware institution on Park Road, Wynberg. Three generations, one community — and a shop built on knowing what you need before you ask.
Our Story
Kismet Supply Store opened its doors in 1954 on Park Road in Wynberg, Cape Town. Back then it was a small neighbourhood hardware shop — the kind of place you could walk into for a single nail and walk out with the advice you needed to finish the job properly.
Seventy years and three generations later, we're still on the same street, still family-owned, and still serving the same broader Cape Town community. The shop has grown — more stock, more services, more deliveries going out — but the way we work hasn't.
What sets Kismet apart is simple: you can bring your project — or your problem — to any consultant on our floor, and we'll help you find a working DIY solution. Not just a shelf to choose from. That's the part you can't shop online for.
"We stock anything from a needle to an anchor — and we'd rather you walked in and chatted than wondered if we have it."
