Aress International

Our place is right on Sadar Bazar Street Raja 1081. If you know the area, you know it's always loud and there’s always something happening. We’ve been here at Aress International for quite some time. It’s a family-run kind of thing, mostly. We deal with a lot of different items depending on what's available and what people are asking for. The shop itself is tucked away, so you have to look for the number 1081. Inside, it’s mostly just boxes and us trying to keep track of orders. It’s not a big showroom or anything like that. We spend most of our mornings checking what came in and what needs to go out to customers. Sometimes the neighbors come by for a chat, which slows things down, but that's just how it is in Sadar Bazar. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing person. My nephew tries to help with the computer stuff sometimes, but mostly we just use the phone and our ledgers. The floor is a bit uneven and the lighting could be better, but it works for us. We've got a lot of regular people who come to us because they know we're always here. It gets really hot in the summer, so we keep the fans running all day. It’s just a normal business, trying to get things right and keep the bills paid.
