“Due to the association of my shop’s name to the coronavirus pandemic, I am seeing more and more visitors coming in daily," hindustantimes.com reported quoting George from an interview with news agency ANI.

"The name of my shop is Corona nd the pandemic is also called coronavirus and hence my business is flourishing because of this,” he added.

Located in Kalathippady here, George sells plants, pots, plants, lamps, and other materials.

According to George, the term ‘corona’ means ‘crown’ in Latin hence, he named his shop the same as he deals with interior decorating items.

The shop was seen decorated with plants and lamps displaying the exclusive collection.
