Sabari Super Market

Sabari Super Market is located at 1 B in Thodupuzha, right here in Idukki. We aren't as big as those giant malls you see in the bigger cities, but for our town, we have plenty. We opened up because we saw people had to go to three different shops just to get their weekly groceries. Here, we try to put it all under one roof. We have the vegetables in the front and the dry goods stacked in the back aisles. The cooling for the sodas sometimes makes a loud humming noise, which we should probably fix, but it keeps the drinks cold so we leave it for now. Our family runs the place, and we have a few local guys helping with the stocking. It gets very busy on Saturdays, and sometimes the lines at the two billing counters get a bit long. We try to move fast, but we also like to talk to the regulars about how things are going in the village. The floor gets a bit muddy during the monsoon season because everyone walks in with wet boots, but we mop it when we can. We don't use any fancy computer systems for everything, just some basic stuff to keep track of the money. It’s a straightforward business. We buy things from the wholesalers and sell them to the neighbors. If you need something for your kitchen, we probably have it sitting on a shelf somewhere.
