- Where is it?
Here I am going to talk about a pair of shoes I bought from a street market in my hometown.Couple of months back I wanted to buy sports shoes for myself as I started to do exercise so I decided to buy a pair of good quality sports shoes.This market is located in the heart of the city and here one can get almost everything from a small pin to household things. I discussed this with my friend and he told me to buy from a popular footwear store located in the old city.
- What can you buy there?
As I entered the market it was quite noisy and traffic was a problem. The narrow streets are crowded with two wheeler and people coming from the village to buy their required things. This place is a huge market where one can buy anything and everything at a very reasonable price. Clothes, electronics, cosmetics, books and stationery,toys, footwear and many things are available in a huge variety. I bought a pair of shoes and I feel I am a happy customer as this place offers a lot.
- How did you feel about it?
I feel so excited about my shopping experience in this market. The store where I shopped was the oldest store with very good customer feedback. The staff is so cooperative and supportive. They make our buying experience so smooth by showing us different varieties in all ranges. Really it was a once in a lifetime experience for me. Now my friends and I always go here to buy footwear. Without a doubt we all are happy customers.
