Noble Stationers & Gift Center

We’ve been running Noble Stationers & Gift Center at shop 93 in the Sector 15 Huda Market for quite a few years. It’s a cozy little place filled with everything from school notebooks to birthday cards. The aisles are a bit narrow, so you have to be careful not to knock anything over. We try to keep a bit of everything because you never know what a student or a parent might need at the last minute. Huda Market is a great place to be because of the community feel. We know most of the teachers from the nearby schools. Sometimes kids come in just to look at the new pens or stickers we’ve put out. We don't have a big corporate strategy. We just see what people are asking for and try to get it in stock. The gift section is always a bit of a mess because people like to move things around while they’re choosing. We don't mind. It means they’re looking. The bell on the door rings all day long. Some days are slow, especially when it rains and the market gets quiet. But usually, there’s a steady stream of people. We’ve got some old wooden shelves that have been here since the day we opened. They’re a bit scratched up now, but they hold a lot of memories. It’s a simple shop for simple needs. We’re just happy to be a part of the daily routine for the folks in Sector 15.
