Shiv General Store

Shiv General Store is tucked away in the Tikoniya Market area of Belan Ganj. Being in Agra, specifically this part of the city, means things are always moving fast and it is always loud. We have been set up here for quite a few years now and it has become our second home. The shop is not massive, but we pack a lot into the small space we have available. You can find almost any small household thing here if you look long enough. We have everything from small matchboxes to big bags of flour and sugar. My brother and I take turns watching the shop so one of us can rest. The market can get really crowded on the weekends, making it hard to move around, but we manage to get by. We have a routine down where we check the inventory every Tuesday morning. Most of our customers are from the immediate neighborhood who just need a few items for their dinner. We talk about the weather or the local news while we weigh out the pulses on the scale. It is a very normal life here for us. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are usually too busy to worry about that right now. We prefer to just keep things simple and functional. People know they can find us open even when it is getting late. We do not have a website, just the shop front in Belan Ganj.
