Famous Cloth Store

Famous Cloth Store is located in the Madina Building, specifically in the SBH Lane. It is an old part of the city and the building has a lot of history to it. We deal in all sorts of cloth and fabrics. The shop is piled high with bolts of material, some reaching all the way to the ceiling. It can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to it. We have a few old wooden counters where we measure out the fabric. The floor is stone and stays cool even when it’s boiling outside. We spend our days unrolling cloth and cutting it to size. It is a lot of lifting and moving heavy rolls around. The lane outside is very narrow and usually full of carts and people. It feels like stepping back in time a little bit when you come into the Madina Building. We don't have any bright lights or flashy signs. We just rely on people knowing where we are. We've been here for a long time and the routine doesn't change much. We open up early, sweep the floor, and wait for the first customers. It’s a slow and steady kind of business. We like the community here in the lane. Everyone knows everyone else. We just keep doing what we've always done. The dust from the fabrics gets everywhere and our scissors are always disappearing under scraps, but we manage just fine. There is a small tea stall nearby that brings us glasses twice a day, and that’s our favorite part of the shift. We sit on the steps and just watch the people go by.
