Raja Reddy & Sons

We’ve been at 197 Mangalam Road for a long time now. It’s right in the Tirupur Bazaar area, which gets pretty crowded every single day. Karuvampalayam is a busy spot and there is always something going on outside our door. My father started this business years ago and now we just keep things going as they were. People come in looking for different items and we help them find what they need. The shop itself isn't fancy at all. There are stacks of boxes and things here and there. Sometimes it takes us a few minutes to find exactly what a person is asking for, but we usually get there in the end. It’s a lot of physical work keeping everything organized, especially when the weather gets really hot. We open up the shutters early in the morning and we don't stay much past sunset. Most people around this part of town know us by name because we’ve been around for so long. You will see our sign when you are walking down the road. It’s not a huge place, just enough room for us and the stock we keep. We don't have a website or any of those modern things. We just do our daily work and talk to the regulars who stop by. Sometimes the traffic on Mangalam Road is a real nightmare, but that's just part of being in the bazaar. We stay busy with the local crowd. It's just a normal family business. We just show up and do what needs doing every single day.
