They needed a new challenge, 9 years down the line they do not regret at all. Highly educated and with secure jobs Daljit Kaur and Jagjit Singh quit their jobs and opened a local Jokker store at Billingstad in Asker County. The business keeps on flourishing. Daljit Kaur worked in commerce and Jagjit Singh as an electrical engineer.

Their success can be attributed to their motivation to give service to their customers. "It is important to speak and salute the customers", says Jagjit. "When you know your customers you tend to serve them better by supplying the goods and products they demand and this brings them back. We also deliver the goods to customer that cannot come to the store", adds Daljit.

Apart from offering their customers daily goods and postal services, the store has also become a meeting point for the locals.

Their success has earned them the title Merchant of the year.

We salute Daljit Kaur and Jagjit Singh for daring to live their dream and succeeding and call them our week's dream achievers. They have shown that sometimes you have to exit your comfort zone in order to achieve your dream and success.
