Coffe Story Varity Store

You’ll find us in Sorpi village, which is part of the Laudoha area in the Burdwan district. It’s a rural place, very different from the big towns and cities. Coffe Story Varity Store is where the locals come for their daily needs. We call it a variety store because we try to keep a bit of everything on the shelves. From tea and coffee supplies to small household items and snacks, we have it all shoved into the corners of the shop. The store is in the Villpost-Sorpi area, and everyone knows everyone here. It’s a small building, and during the summer, it gets quite stuffy and hot inside. We don’t have fancy lighting, just a few bulbs that we turn on when it gets dark. People stop by not just to buy things but to catch up on the local news or just say hello. We don't have a marketing strategy or anything corporate. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for the village to wake up. The road outside is mostly quiet except for the occasional tractor or a motorbike passing through. We deal with a lot of small change and keep everything in paper ledgers. It’s a very old-fashioned way of doing things, but it works for a place like Sorpi. Sometimes we run out of things because the delivery from Burdwan takes a while to reach us. We just tell people to come back.
