S K Charcoal

You can find S K Charcoal right at 369 Kalpetta Junction. It’s a spot that stays pretty dusty because of what we handle. Dealing with charcoal isn't the cleanest job in the world, and our clothes usually show it by the end of the shift. We spend a lot of time moving bags around and making sure the inventory is right. The junction is always noisy with traffic, which we’ve gotten used to over the years. It’s just a simple operation where we focus on getting the product out to whoever needs it. No big office or anything like that, just a functional space for storage and sales. Sometimes it’s hot, and moving the heavy sacks is hard work, but we just get on with it. We know most of the drivers who come through here to pick up loads. It’s a straightforward business. We don’t have a website or anything like that; people just know where we are at the junction. The floor is usually black from the dust, no matter how much we sweep. It’s just the nature of the work. If someone needs charcoal, they stop by, we load them up, and that’s that. We’ve been here a while and seen the junction get busier and busier. It's just a regular local business without any bells or whistles attached to it. We keep our hours and do our thing.
