Sun Ice Cream

Down at 30 Valluvar Street in Indra Colony, our shop Sun Ice Cream is tucked away in a mostly residential area. Being in Samayapuram, we get a lot of local families coming by once the dinner hour is over. The street isn't as loud as the main highway, which is nice for us. We have a simple setup with a few large chest freezers and a counter for the customers. Most of the work involves making sure the temperature stays low enough so nothing melts, which can be a struggle during the summer months. The neighbors are good people and they often stop to chat while their kids pick out something cold. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us who take turns being here. Sometimes we sit outside on a plastic chair when there aren't many customers around. The shop is small, so we have to be careful about how much we order so the freezers don't get too packed. We have a regular routine of cleaning the glass and checking the lids every morning. It is a basic business, but it keeps us busy enough throughout the year. We don't use any loud music or bright flashing signs to get attention. People just know we are here on Valluvar Street if they need something cold on a hot afternoon. It’s just how things work in this part of the colony and we are fine with that.
