I remember as a kid we would regularly go to the town square, have a friendly chat with the baker, have a friendly chat with the greengrocer, friendly chat at the corner shop, get some advice from the ironmonger
I’m sorry did you live in the fucking Hanseatic League or some shit? Fucking iron monger?
I know some parts of the world use “ironmonger” for “hardware store” but the number of people using that phrase unironically must be quite low nowadays

It’s Brit for local hardware shop
“Oi gubvenor I’m goin’ to the iron monger to buy meself a smackerwhappy (hammer)”
You don’t need to make words up, “spanner” already exists along with others that I’m forgetting.
Look it’s not my fault the British have a lot of weird twee nicknames for things
