Trophy House

Trophy House has been at Peergate for a long time now. The Afghan Hotel is right near us and works as a great landmark. If you find the hotel, you have basically found the shop. Shiny things fill up the space from floor to ceiling. Shelves are packed with all sorts of awards, shields, and small trophies. It can get a bit crowded inside because keeping a lot of variety on hand is important. Dusting everything takes forever, so a bit of it might be seen on the higher shelves where we can't reach easily. A small workbench in the back is where the engraving and the assembly work happens. It smells a bit like metal and glue back there. The street outside stays busy with people walking to the market or grabbing food from the nearby stalls. It is a noisy spot, but the energy of the area is nice. Customers have been coming for years for their local sports matches or school events. This is just a small local shop. There isn't a fancy website; talking to people face to face is how it works. A big ledger book is used to keep track of orders. The shop door is usually open to catch the breeze while we work on the latest trophies. It is a bit old-fashioned, but the system works well. Being a regular part of the neighborhood near the Afghan hotel is what we are.
