A1 Ice Cream

If you’re driving down Bellari Road in Kodumur, you’ll see us at 74-8-26. We are right across from Mayuri Electronics, which helps people find us. Our spot isn't anything special to look at from the outside. It’s just a small shop with a couple of big freezers and some posters on the walls that have been there for years. The traffic on Bellari Road never seems to stop, so there’s always a bit of a hum from the motorcycles and trucks passing by. We get a lot of people who are just passing through town and need something cold to wake them up. I spend a lot of time checking the temperatures on the displays. If it’s off by even a little, you can tell. Sometimes the kids from the school nearby come in with their spare change and it takes them forever to pick a flavor. We don't mind much, it gives us a chance to sit down for a second. The floor is made of old tile and it's seen a lot of wear over the years. We keep a bucket and mop in the back because someone is always dropping a scoop. It’s just a simple life here in Kodumur, trying to stay cool and keeping the machines running. We close up once the street gets quiet. Sometimes I sit on the step outside and watch the shop across the way. A1 Ice Cream is just a small part of this busy road.
