Rukkumani Store

Our little shop is tucked away on T.G.Ramasamy Naidu Street in Telungapalayam. It is a residential area in Coimbatore, so we mostly see the families who live on this street or just a block away. We have been at 3/3 for quite some time, and the shop has become a familiar sight for everyone walking to the bus stop or taking their kids to school. We sell the usual daily necessities—things like matches, candles, snacks, and basic grocery items. It is not a very large store, but we try to keep the things people ask for most often. The atmosphere around here is usually quite calm compared to the main roads of Coimbatore. We open up early in the morning and stay open until the street lights come on in the evening. There are no fancy computers or scanners here, we just know the prices and write things down if we need to. Sometimes neighbors stop by just to chat for a few minutes while they buy a packet of milk. It feels more like a community spot than just a business. We handle everything ourselves, from cleaning the floor to stocking the high shelves. It is a simple, honest way of living. We don't try to compete with the big supermarkets in the city because we provide something different—a place where everyone knows your name and you don't have to wait in a long line.
