Ferreteria Llompart

 

Joan Llompart Taberner and his wife Maria Tomàs Salvà founded this business in 1923. At the beginning, it was a grocery shop but later it became Ferreteria i Armeria Llompart, which is now well-known by all the people of Llucmajor. Joan, a hunting enthusiast, used to prepare the gunpowder cartridges and weapons that were later sold in the shop.

The founder, also known as En Samanet, was a great entrepreneur and businessman. Although they had no children, they took care of their three nephews when his sister was widowed. At the age of 40, Joan suffered an accident when a gunpowder cartridge exploded in his hands, which led to an illness that would later lead to his death. Since then, his wife and nephews have been running the hardware store, an establishment that has been run by the women of the family over the years.

Antònia Cantallops, who has worked there since her youth, currently runs the hardware store alone. She is a cheerful and friendly woman who refuses to give up the business because it is her life. She does not miss a beat, because she knows exactly what people ask for and where to find each product in the shop, as the customers know very well, because they are always well looked after and can find everything they need.
