Suguna Textile Shop
Suguna Textile shop is in the midst of the busy
Mahabalipuram street. One glance into this shop you’d feel that this is a shop
that sells sarees for women. But upon entering the shop I was surprised to find
out that it sells all kinds of dresses and cloth material. The shop is in the
form of a rectangle and well lit. There is a water cooler for the customers if
they needed water. This shop is packed with all sorts of clothing ranging from
sarees, kids wear, shirt, trousers, bed sheets, churidar etc. They also
undertake stitching. On questioning further, I found out that most of their
customers were locals and predominantly women who purchase sarees. Sarees
ranged from cotton to silk to shiffon and to the current favorite synthetic.
Most of the clothes are made in Surat. Foreigners also visit the shop and they
mostly buy bedcovers.
There are about 5 sales girls who facilitate the process.
And interestingly I found out there was a surveillance camera in that shop. The
shop is open from 7AM to 10PM all days. They have about 100 customers per day
and make sales of about Rs20000 to
Rs30000. Most of the clothes are sold for a discount of 10% and much more
during the holiday seasons. The owner of the shop was well versed in Hindi,
Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Gujurati. Above is the owners pic.
