Coorg Store

Our shop, Coorg Store, is right on Vasanth Nagar 1 Main Road here in Bangalore. We’ve been in this spot for some time now, serving the people who live and work in Vasanth Nagar. It’s a pretty central location in the 560001 area. We mostly carry products that people look for when they want a taste of Coorg, like coffee and honey and those kinds of things. The shop isn't very large, but we pack a lot onto the shelves. It smells pretty good inside because of all the coffee beans. On the weekends, it gets a bit more crowded with folks who are out for a stroll or doing their weekly shopping. I usually handle the counter myself, or sometimes a family member helps out. We don't have any corporate training or anything like that; we just talk to people and help them find what they need. Bangalore is always changing, but our little corner of Vasanth Nagar stays mostly the same. We have some regulars who have been coming since we first opened. It’s a lot of work keeping everything stocked up, especially getting the stuff from the hills. We don't have a big marketing plan, we just rely on people walking by and seeing the sign. It’s a simple life running a shop on the 1 Main Road. We just hope that people enjoy the products we bring in. It’s just an honest little business trying to serve the local community here.
