Kumaraswamy Stores

You can find us over at No 12 on 17th Cross in the K P Agrahara area of Bangalore. We are on the 5th Main, right in the middle of a very busy residential neighborhood. It is a small store, and we have to use every bit of space we have, even stacking things up to the ceiling. We have been in this spot for years now, watching the kids in the neighborhood grow up and start their own lives. We sell the usual household stuff that people need in a hurry. It gets very crowded in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work and stops by for a few items. We don't have a big fancy sign or a polished look. It is just a regular local shop where the floors are a bit worn down from all the walking over the years. We open up early and usually stay late. Dealing with the heat in Bangalore during the summer can be tough since the shop is so small. We spend a lot of time just checking what we need to order for the next day. Sometimes we run out of things, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It is not a perfect system, but it is how we have always done it. We know most of our customers by their faces. It is just a simple way to make a living.
