Modern Aartz Furnishers

Our spot at Radiant Arcade is right by Old Poolgate, which most people in Pune know is a pretty active area. Being on East Street in Camp means there is always something happening outside the door. Modern Aartz Furnishers has been tucked into this space for a while now. It’s not a massive warehouse, so we have to be smart about how we stack the chairs and display the fabrics. If you walk in, you’ll see we use every inch of the shop. Sometimes it’s a bit of a squeeze to get around the furniture, but people don't seem to mind. I usually spend my mornings checking on orders or talking to the guys who do the heavy lifting. We deal with a lot of dust because of the road outside, so there is a lot of cleaning involved to keep the displays looking decent. The building itself has that old Camp feel to it, which I like. It’s not like those new malls where everything looks the same. Here, you can hear the horns honking and the people talking on the sidewalk. We don't do much in the way of fancy advertising. Most people find us because they were already walking down East Street or someone told them we were here. It’s a straightforward way to run a business. We just open up, do the work, and close up when the sun goes down. It’s a good routine. It is loud out there but nice and quiet inside.
