Jay Jalaram Medical & Provision Stores

You can find us at the Meghaninagar Cross Road. We are right across from the Government Officers Colony, which is a big area around here. Our shop is a bit of a mix because we do both medical supplies and provision items. It makes sense for the neighborhood. People can pick up their medicines and some groceries at the same time. Meghaninagar is a lively part of Ahmedabad and there is always something going on outside the door. We spend our mornings getting the fresh stock in and cleaning the glass cases. It’s a lot of work keeping track of both the food items and the medicines, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We aren't a big supermarket, just a local store where we know your name if you come in often enough. Sometimes we run out of space and have to stack things in the corners. It’s not perfectly neat, but it’s real. We don't have a marketing team or anything like that. We just put the sign out and do our job. The cross road can get very noisy with all the rickshaws, but inside we just focus on the customers. It’s a honest way to earn a living. We’ve been here a long time and seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. But we just keep doing what we do every day.
