Ambica Sweets & Dry Fruits

You will find us in Kothrud, right on Old Padra Road at number 5. It is a local shop where we sell a mix of sweets and different kinds of dry fruits. We spend a lot of time sorting through the nuts and making sure the jars are full. The shelves go all the way to the ceiling, so we are often climbing up and down on a small ladder. It is not a very big shop, and it can feel a bit cramped when more than three or four people are inside at once. We have a lot of boxes stacked in the corner for when people want to buy gifts for a holiday. Kothrud is a busy area, so there is always noise from the traffic outside. We don't have a lot of help, just a couple of us working the counter and keeping the place tidy. The floor is made of old stone, and we spend a lot of time sweeping out the bits of shell and sugar. It is just a plain shop with regular lights. We don't do any big promotions or sales events. People just come in because they know we have what they need for their snacks or their cooking. Sometimes the deliveries are late and we have empty spots on the shelves for a day or two. That’s just part of running a small business like this one. We stay until everything is sorted and locked up for the night.
