Gianeys

We’re located at No. 5-8-612/1 on Abids Road, which is right across from the Bata showroom. If you’ve ever been to Abids, you know how hectic it can get. The traffic is constant, and there’s always the sound of horns and people shouting. Our place is right in the middle of all that noise. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze inside, especially when a lot of people come in at once to get away from the heat. We spend a lot of time cleaning the counters and making sure the floor isn't sticky. It’s a lot of work keeping up with the crowd. The building itself is older, and you can see the wear and tear on the walls and the ceiling. We don’t have a big team, just a few of us who have been here for a while. We know the rhythm of the street—when it gets busy and when we can finally sit down for a minute. Most of our day is spent serving customers and keeping the stock filled. We don't use any fancy systems, just a simple way of doing things that has worked for us. The lights are a bit bright, but they need to be. By the time we close up, the street is usually a bit quieter, but not by much. It’s a tiring job sometimes, standing on your feet all day, but it’s what we do. It’s just Gianeys on Abids Road, doing our best to get through the daily rush.
