Koonathil Stores

Koonathil Stores has been a fixture in the Thrithala area for a good while. We are situated in Palakkad district, where things move at a bit of a slower pace. Our shop is the kind of place where you can find a bit of everything, from soap to snacks. We don't have a huge staff, just family and maybe a neighbor helping out when it gets busy. The building is old but sturdy. We’ve seen many seasons come and go from this front porch. People often stop by just to say hello or catch up on the local news while they pick up their supplies. It’s not a supermarket with bright lights and music. We have simple shelves and a wooden counter that’s seen a lot of use. Thrithala is a nice place to live and work. We try to stock the things our regulars ask for. If we don’t have something, we might try to get it on the next trip to the bigger market. We don't use any complicated systems here. We write things down in a ledger and keep track of everything by hand. It works for us. The afternoon sun hits the front of the store, so we usually have the shade down then. We’re just regular people running a regular store. There’s no big secret to it. We just show up every day and do our best to keep the shelves full for the folks in Palakkad who rely on us for their daily needs.
