Blackberry

Our shop, Blackberry, is inside Celebration Mall in Bhuwana. Being in a mall is different from being on the main road because the environment is always controlled. We have the mall music playing in the background and the air conditioning is always running. It’s a bit of a walk to get to us if you park in the basement, but people seem to find us okay. We spend a lot of time making sure the shirts are pinned correctly and the suits look sharp on the mannequins. Since it’s a mall, we get a lot of people who are just walking around and might wander in just to look. We don't mind that. We just stand by and wait if they need a different size or want to know about the fabric. The mall gets really packed on Sundays, which means we are on our feet all day without much of a break. It can be tiring, but it’s good to see the place full of life. We follow the mall timings, so we are here until late every night. The floor is shiny and we have to keep it that way, which is a bit of a chore. We don't have the same local street vibe as a shop in the old city, but we like the convenience of being here. It’s a clean, quiet place to work most of the time and the customers are usually quite relaxed when they come in.
