Express Super Market

People usually find us here on Kavundampalayam Road without much trouble because we’re right near Poombukar Nagar in Edayarpalayam. It’s been a while now that we’ve been running Express Super Market at No. 14. Every morning starts pretty much the same way. We get here early to pull up the shutters and start bringing in the fresh stock. It gets dusty being so close to the road, so there’s always cleaning to do before the first few people walk in. Sometimes the milk delivery is late and that throws everything off, but you just deal with it. We have a lot of regulars from Kaveri Nagar who stop by on their way home. They know where everything is kept better than I do sometimes. The aisles aren’t huge, so it gets a bit tight when two people have baskets in the same spot. We try to keep things where they belong, but sometimes items end up in the wrong place after a busy afternoon. It’s just how it goes here in Coimbatore. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. It’s just shelves and boxes and the sound of the fridge humming in the back. Working here means you spend a lot of time talking about the weather or how the traffic on the main road is getting worse every month. We just keep the doors open and make sure there’s enough rice and oil for whoever needs it today. It’s a simple routine and it works for us.
