A former employee of Isardas store Sukirno said the textile shop had been established since 1929. "So it (the shop) is now 89 years old," said the 38-year-old man who claimed to had worked there for 10 years.
Sukirno explained the shop was founded by a man of Indian descent named Isardas. The name of the founder was then used as the store name.
