Maruti Stores

Maruti Stores is located at number 7 in the New Cloth Market area of Cuffe Parade. We have been here for a good many years, and the shop has become a bit of a second home for us. The market itself is a very busy place, especially when the new shipments of cloth arrive and everyone is rushing around. Our shop is small and the shelves are packed high with all sorts of things. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough room to move, but we manage just fine. We don't have a fancy display window or anything like that. People just know where we are and come in when they need something. The air in the market is often thick with the smell of new fabric and the sounds of people haggling over prices. We spend most of our time folding things and making sure the stock is in some kind of order. It’s a lot of work, and our backs often ache by the end of the day. We don't use any high-tech systems to keep track of our inventory; we mostly just remember what we have. It’s a very traditional way of doing things, but it works for us. Cuffe Parade is a unique part of the city, and being in the New Cloth Market feels like being at the center of everything. We just take each day as it comes and try to be helpful to whoever walks through our door.
