The antique shop is located in an easy to spot location, with colorful lanterns outside. It is a small shop but has decorative items from around the globe. Many items are hidden from view so they should move to a bigger space. Only those interested in antiques would enter.
The bakery is close to transportation and work places. It draws a large lunch crowd. It has a small grab-and-eat section that samples products to entice customers.
The handicraft store catches attention with sandalwood aromas. It is run by ladies wearing traditional saris who speak the regional language. They price items reasonably and the overall vibe is good.
