Are you a huge fan of traditional food items? If so, Regalo Stores is the place to get your authentic Mangalorean food ingredients. Regalo Stores, a wholesale and retail store got opened in Kadri’s City Commercial Complex, on Monday November 1.

Sandeep Veigas, owner of Regalo Stores said, “I was working in the travel industry for 18 years and because of the pandemic, my firm was completely shut down and I lost my job. Following that, as a freelancer, I ran my own business from last October, because my clients told me I could work from home and do online ticketing for them.”

Even after the pandemic, there were many restrictions on travel, which worsened the already-existing issues, and this year, a lockdown was imposed. “So, my brother and aunt suggested that I open a store. They advised me that we don’t need an office for travel services and that I should open a store selling genuine local items, notably food ingredients like masala, fully processed tamarind in powder form, authentic ginger garlic pastes, Szechuan chutney, sauces and so on. Then we also have home-made pickle, jaggery, Coorg honey, and so on,” he added.

He further said he runs the store all by himself and his family helps him occasionally. During evening hours, an uncle from neighbourhood comes in and helps him.

Veigas further added that the response from people has been lukewarm. “Our own people are not supporting this. They all want to shop at supermarkets or hypermarkets. As a result, I came up with the notion of providing Mangalorean traditional cuisine ingredients that are not widely available in Mangaluru.”

He said that people can visit the store from 9.30 am to 1.30 pm and 3.30 pm to 7.30 pm.
