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.
