About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sound coming from inside India Cash & Carry. It was like a low humming, almost like someone singing in another language. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw nothing out of place—just rows upon rows of neatly stacked boxes. As he listened closer, the hum grew louder, almost like a distant chanting. Suddenly, a voice called out from behind him: 'Excuse me, sir? Are you trying to steal our secret prayer time?' Turned around, he found himself facing a friendly Indian shopkeeper with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver sheepishly apologized, and they both shared a hearty laugh over the misunderstanding.

2. One night, a regular muttered to himself as he walked through the aisles: ‘I wonder if they sell curry here that can cure my cold?’ Finally, he found an enormous jar labeled ‘Special Ayurvedic Cold Remedy.’ With a skeptical smile, he bought it and went home. The next morning, feeling slightly better, he opened the jar only to discover packets of spicy Indian snacks. His neighbor overheard him muttering again: ‘At least now I know where to get some good chips!’

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from the backroom of India Cash & Carry. Curious, he peeked inside and saw something that made him laugh out loud: a small dog had wandered in and was diligently sniffing through boxes of spices, clearly thinking it was on a treasure hunt. The delivery driver gently scooped up the little fellow and carried him outside, where a neighbor happened to be watering his plants. ‘Found you a new friend!’ he joked, handing over the curious canine. From then on, every now and then, someone would spot a tiny shadow darting around the aisles—obviously, the store’s newest employee, helping customers find their way to the best deals.

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath: ‘Why does everything happen in the darkest aisle?’ Suddenly, he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, sir? Do you know where I can find some tea?’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly. They ended up chatting for a while, and the delivery driver realized that sometimes even India Cash & Carry has its moments of unexpected kindness.
