Agarwal Store

Our shop is located right at Dhoretha Mode on Sikandra Road. It’s been sitting on this corner in Agra for quite some time. Most of the people living around here know us well enough by now. We deal in all sorts of daily items that a household might require. It’s a small space, so things can get a bit crowded when more than three people are inside. We have sacks of grain sitting on the floor and rows of spices on the wooden shelves. I usually sit near the entrance to handle the cash while the boys help find things for customers. Sometimes it gets dusty because of the traffic on the main road, but we wipe down the counters every morning. We don’t really do any big advertising or anything like that. People just come because they know we are open early and stay open until late. If someone needs a specific brand of tea or a certain type of oil, we try to keep it in stock. Life in Agra is busy, and we are just one part of the routine for the folks living nearby. It’s hard work standing all day, but it’s what we do. We don't have fancy lights or air conditioning, just a regular shop where you can get your kitchen supplies. It’s simple, honest work and we’ve been doing it this way for years.
