Marks & Spencer

Our place is at 152/Chakda Padma Pukur in Kolkata. We’ve been in West Bengal for a good while now. Being Marks & Spencer in this part of town means we get to meet a lot of interesting people. The 700093 area is where we call home. The shop isn't some shiny, perfect place. It’s a working store. We spend our time arranging the displays and helping customers find what they want. Kolkata has its own pace, and we fit right into it. We don’t have big corporate meetings; we just talk to each other about what needs doing. If the stock is low, we order more. If a customer is looking for something specific, we try to find it. It’s not complicated. We’ve seen the neighborhood change around Padma Pukur over the years. We’re just a part of the local scenery now. We don't use marketing tricks to get people in. They know where we are. We just provide a place to shop and some decent help. It’s a steady way to live and we’re glad to be doing it here in the city. Some days the traffic is loud outside, but inside we just focus on the clothes and the shoppers. We keep the place tidy and wait for the regulars. It’s a steady way to live. We don't need much more than that. Just a simple store in a busy neighborhood where we know the people.
