Sri Ganapathy Agencies

Sri Ganapathy Agencies is tucked away at 4, 5 New Street, on Chetty Kulam Lane in Mayiladuthurai. This is a very old part of town with narrow lanes and lots of history. Our building is right there in the middle of all the local trade. It’s a busy spot, and sometimes it’s hard for vehicles to get through the lane because of all the shoppers and bicycles. We’ve been here long enough that everyone knows us. We open up the shutters every morning and start setting things out. It’s not a massive operation. We just have a few rooms filled with what we sell and a small counter where we talk to customers. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we haven't really had the time to worry about that. We prefer to spend our time making sure our customers get what they need. Most of our day is spent talking to people who walk in off the street. We don't do any big advertising; word of mouth is usually enough around here. It gets very noisy in the afternoons when the market is at its peak. We usually take a break for some coffee when things slow down a bit. It’s a simple life and we enjoy being part of the Mayiladuthurai community. We’ve seen many businesses come and go over the years, but we’re still here on New Street.
