C. P. Cottage

Our shop, C. P. Cottage, is located right at 44 Gole Market. If you know Delhi, you know this area is always buzzing. We’ve been in this spot for a good while. It’s a round market, so sometimes people get a bit turned around looking for us. We keep a variety of items in stock, mostly things people need for their homes or small gifts. It’s not a huge space, so things can get a bit crowded when a shipment arrives. We spend a lot of time just organizing the shelves. We aren't into high-pressure sales. Most people just walk in, look around, and ask a few questions. We tell them what we know. The building is older, which we like. It has that classic Gole Market feel to it. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s not too hot. We know the other shopkeepers around here pretty well. We share news and complain about the parking together. Our day starts early to get things ready before the shoppers arrive. We don't have a fancy website or anything. We just rely on people seeing our sign and coming in. It’s a quiet way to run a business. We focus on what we have on the shelves and making sure the shop stays tidy. That is about it for us. It’s a simple life running a small shop in the city.
