Tashi Tsering
Bhutan Corner Corp.
Tashi Tsering is the proprietor of Bhutan Corner Corp. located in Woodside, Queens, an existing business he purchased from its previous owner in 2016.
Bhutan Corner offers a variety of products including traditional Bhutanese grains like roasted wheat flour for porridge and kharang, a coarsely milled maize that can be mixed with rice, and gayza seap, a fried corn snack enjoyed with tea.
Tashi and Accompany Capital have worked together over the years, beginning in 2017 when Accompany Capital helped him purchase inventory for his growing client base. Tashi is attentive and responsive to his clients’ tastes and frequently adds requested items to his inventory. A 2023 loan funded the purchase of additional inventory, including more traditional Bhutanese products like intricately embroidered boots known as tsholam and the cylindrical tongba vessel for fermented millet beverages. He also stocks everyday essentials like electronics, beverages, and international calling cards.
