Our shop is situated right in Fatehgunj, directly across from the Prudential Tower. It’s a spot many locals know well. We’ve been operating from this location for quite some time, and it has a bit of an old-fashioned feel to it. Inside, the shelves are filled with all sorts of items, mostly what you’d expect from a place like ours. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know where everything is kept. It can get a little crowded when a few customers come in at once, especially since the space is somewhat narrow. We spend our days chatting with people who have been coming to us for years and meeting new folks who just happened to be passing by the tower. The street outside is always busy with students and people heading to work. We keep the doors open most of the day, so you can hear the noise of the traffic and the people walking by. It’s not a polished or modern showroom; it’s more of a practical place where we keep our inventory organized the best we can. Sometimes we’re just sitting on the stools waiting for the next person to walk in. We handle the sales, do the cleaning, and manage the stock ourselves. It’s a simple life and a simple business. We like the familiarity of this corner in Fatehgunj and seeing the same faces every week. It keeps us going through the day.
