Kitchen King

You can find Kitchen King over at 2-37-66 in Bilekahalli. It’s a bit tucked away, but we’ve been here for a while. We sell pots, pans, and all the things you need to cook a meal. The shelves are quite high, so I have to use a ladder more often than I’d like. My knees aren't what they used to be. It’s a bit cluttered inside because I try to stock as much as possible. Bilekahalli has changed a lot since I first opened this shop. There are more buildings now and more traffic on the main road. I keep the shop open until eight at night usually. Sometimes people come in looking for a specific lid for an old pressure cooker. I usually find it if they give me enough time to look through the boxes. It's a dusty job but someone has to do it. I don't bother with fancy displays or bright lights. The shop is what it is. I have a small desk in the corner where I sit and drink my coffee. My son helps out during the holidays, but mostly it's just me. I like helping people find the right tool for their kitchen. It’s satisfying when someone comes back and says the pan worked well. We just keep things simple here. Sometimes I forget where I put the smaller items, so the customer and I end up looking together. It's a bit embarrassing but people are usually patient.
