B. G. Garments

Our business is over at No. 63/82-b in M. R. Nagar. We are on 5th Street in the Karatangadu area, which is just off the Dharapuram Road. It’s a nice enough area, mostly residential with some small shops like ours mixed in. We’ve been in this building for a few years now. It’s not a very big space, so we have to be careful about how we pile up the garments. If we aren't careful, the stacks start to lean over and might fall. We mostly deal with local orders and people who have been coming to us for a long time. There’s a small porch out front where we sit sometimes when it’s not too hot. We don’t have a big staff, just a few people from the neighborhood who help out with the stitching and the packing. The sewing machines make a steady hum all day long. Sometimes we have to stay late to finish up a job, and we just order some food from the place down the street. We don’t have any marketing people or anything like that. We just rely on people knowing us and our work. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for when the delivery trucks come and we have to move everything around to make room. We like it here on 5th Street and plan to stay as long as we can. It’s just a normal shop. (255 words)
