HDM Spice Shop is owned & run by Saj & Abdul
Ghafoor.
It stocks a large range of Asian spices,
ingredients, Ethnic fresh produce, Halal meat & halal products.
Why HDM Spice Shop? HDM was initials of
our beloved & wise old grandfather's name. Haji Din Mohammed. He always
listened to us , even though we had to shout very loud ( hard of hearing),
and he never failed to point out our failings and also our successes. With
a gurgling laugh, a nod of his head & passing comment he would let us know
that he loved us very much. He had over 50 grandchildren, and being one of
the oldest, he had a special place in his heart us.
HDM Spice Shop opened its doors on
Saturday 22nd January 2005. Two weeks after the floods devastated areas in
Carlisle, including part of the area near the business. Not exactly the
start we hoped for, but we never expected it to be an easy ride.
HDM Spice Shop has developed into more
than just an Asian grocery business, it has community responsibility &
cultural awareness as its moral base. As Muslims we feel that we need to
participate within the community & share our culture within the community.
