Balaji Baniyan Store

You can find us at No 21 on the 6th Lane in Singara Garden. We are right there in Old Washermenpet. It's an old neighborhood and we have been here for a good amount of time. The store sells banyans and basic innerwear. It is a small shop really. Not much to look at from the outside but we have what people need. Usually, neighbors stop by when they are passing through the lane. It can get quite hot in the afternoons but we stay open. My brother and I take turns sitting at the counter. We don't use any big computers or fancy systems. Just a notebook to write things down. The shelves are mostly full of boxes. Sometimes the delivery guys struggle to find the 6th lane because the streets are so narrow here. But once you know where we are it is simple. We don't do anything special, just sell the stock we have. Most days are quiet unless it's a holiday time. We like being in this part of town because everyone knows each other. It's just a regular store for everyday clothes. We don't have any big sales or gimmicks. People just come in, ask for their size, and go about their day. It's been the same routine for years now and we don't plan on changing much. The paint on the walls is peeling a bit but it doesn't bother the customers much. We just keep the floor swept and the stock ready in their boxes.
