Hira Bazaar Department Store

Hira Bazaar Department Store is right there in Maninagar, Ahmedabad. You can find us at 10, Tulsi Appartment, which is just opposite Vallabh Wadi on Bhairavnath Road. It’s a busy corner of the city. We sell pretty much everything you’d expect from a local department store. From grains and oils to snacks and household items, the shelves are always packed. Since we are near Jawahar Chawk, there is a lot of foot traffic throughout the day. We open early so people can grab what they need before work. I’ve spent many years behind the counter here, watching the neighborhood change. Customers come in and we usually know what they want before they even ask. It’s a lot of lifting heavy bags and restocking items when the delivery trucks arrive. The store isn't very large, so we have to use every bit of space we have. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when too many people are in at once, especially during the festive seasons. We don't have any of those fancy barcode scanners that never work; we just know our prices and get people through the line. It’s a simple life running a shop in Ahmedabad. We stay open late for those who forgot to buy milk or sugar on their way home. It’s just about being there for the local families in the apartments nearby.
