We are up on the first floor of Patel Avenue at Showroom No. 2. Being on the first floor means people have to walk up the stairs or take the lift, so we don't get as much random foot traffic as the ground floor shops. That’s alright with us because the people who come up usually know exactly what they are looking for. The showroom has been here for a good amount of time. We keep a variety of goods on display, mostly focused on clothing and textiles. It’s a bright space with big windows, but it can get quite warm in the afternoons when the sun hits the glass. We spend a lot of time folding things and making sure the displays look decent enough for people to browse. My staff and I have been working together for years, so we have a good rhythm going. We aren't a big chain store with uniforms and scripts. We just talk to people normally and help them find a size or a color they like. Some days the building is quiet, and other days it’s packed with people visiting the other offices around us. We just keep the door open and wait for our regulars to stop by. It’s a simple business without any big corporate backing. We just focus on what’s on the shelves and making sure the shop stays in good shape for whoever visits us here in Patel Avenue.
