Besides selling computer peripherals, The Small Shop also undertakes repairs of out-of-warranty products.

  1. Even though e-commerce offers a greater range of choices, villagers prefer buying readily available products from The Small Shop.
  2. A new resident who earlier worked in the computer hardware industry is contemplating starting a business in Turturunk.
  3. A large fading sign prominently placed behind the shop’s cash counter reads “in business and in life, always be fair”.
  4. To cover insurance costs, e-commerce has begun charging a delivery fee from last year.
