History
Uncle Kams was founded in 2008, by Sinniah Kamalendran, commonly known as KAM. Kam first opened the infamous Craylands shop in 2003, and then decided to open Uncle Kams next door in 2008. Subject to the new regeneration project in Craylands, all the properties in the area were destroyed and unfortunately Uncle Kams had to shut down for a considerably long time.
