Right across the street, where I live, there is a small shop that sells all kinds of electronics items. I like to visit this shop every now and then, probably because I have known the people there for a long time. It is, of course, a family business, and I would like to talk about it here in brief.
But, I didn’t know that it was a family business until about a year ago when my father told me that his friend (the owner of the shop) started this business about 30 years ago in partnership with a couple of his cousins. But prior to that, his father and uncle used to own and run this shop without any help from outside. Of course, now that the shop is really busy and popular among its customers, the owners of this electronics shop have hired a few staffs in order to help them run their business smoothly. However, the best thing (and, probably also the confusing thing) about this family business is that it is very difficult to know who is the owner and who is the staff there.
By the way, even though, it was a small shop, many customers visit this shop in order to buy their electronics products, probably because most of the items there are sold at a very affordable price. In fact, the shop remains so busy most of the times that seldom I have seen the staff of this shop sitting idle or talking to each other, as they are always found to be busy either in organizing the products on the shelves or helping the customers to find their preferred items.
Anyway, I think that it is a great family business which has managed to build a great reputation among all kinds of customers. The staff members in this shop are very friendly, and they genuinely want to give back to the community in which they run their business. Besides, even though, it is a small business, it has survived all kinds of challenges and competition (from other businesses in the area) to establish itself as a successful family business.
