Variety Store

The Variety Store is right at Shop 1, Plot No- 23 in the Taras Center. We are located in the Marine Line area, which is always bustling with people and traffic. If you look across the street, you can see the Trinity Building, so that’s how most people find us if they get lost. Being in Taras Center means we are surrounded by other shops and businesses, so it’s never a dull moment. The shop itself is packed with all sorts of things from floor to ceiling. We don't have much empty space because we try to keep a bit of everything in stock for whoever walks in. It’s a bit of a squeeze when there are more than two or three customers inside, but we make it work. I spend a lot of time just organizing the shelves and making sure we haven't run out of the basics. The noise from the street is constant, with cars honking and people rushing toward the station. We open up early in the morning and stay until late in the evening. It’s a long day, but I enjoy talking to the regulars who stop by on their way home. We don't use any fancy systems or anything, just a notebook for the accounts and a lot of patience. It’s a simple business run by regular people who just want to provide what the neighborhood needs without any extra drama. We just keep the store open and wait for people.
