Al8217;s 038; Jo8217;s tucks in something for everyone

The moment you step inside this home store tucked away in Panchkula8217;s Sector 2 market, you realise it must have taken the owners ample time to put together all that8217;s on the shelves. From arty brass items to interesting artefacts, traditional crafts to contemporary curios8230;they all find space here. The fact that owners Vishal Khosla and his better half Navjot have wheels on their feet explains it further! The enterprising couple, frequent travellers with the family, decided to set up 8216;Al8217;s 038; Jo8217;s8217;, a store with such goodies for the home at a time when home stores weren8217;t around-the-corner affairs.

8220;We were fond of home stuff and would invariably pick up curios, crafts, furnishings8230;wherever we went,8221; tells Vishal who also zeroed in on exporters looking to let go of surplus stock. Which is why you8217;ll find a potpourri of international products housed in the two-level store. There8217;s so much that you can8217;t make the most of it in one go! 8220;The idea was not to make a regular gift coupled into home shop. We wanted to pack in something for everyone8217;s home,8221; pitches in Navjot. The end result sees ceiling to floor glass shelves boasting of silverware, brassware, glassware, wooden wonders, wall hangings, lamps, furnishings, curios, knick-knacks, artefacts8230;it8217;s an endless list. 8220;While level one packs in more curios and the likes for the home, the basement has a lot of furnishing, carpets and the furniture we design ourselves,8221; chorus the two as we go about making the most of the first visit. 8220;We now understand tastes of regulars and often hunt down specific curios that would go with their themes,8221; laughs Khosla whose latest collection on the shelves sees a lot of brassware inspired by the seas! As far as the price factor goes, its an all-budget shop for there8217;s so much to choose from.
