Jay Yogeshwar General Store

If you walk into the Sun Palace Shopping Center in Meman Nagar, you will find us at shop number 3 and 4. Jay Yogeshwar General Store is just a small place we run. We are right opposite the Gur area and things stay pretty busy around here most of the time. The morning starts with unloading the milk and bread from the crates. Ahmedabad can get really hot so we usually keep the front shutters halfway down in the afternoon to stay cool. The shelves are made of old wood and they have everything from soap to snacks. We do not have fancy lights or anything like that. Just the regular tube lights that flicker sometimes when the power fluctuates. People from the nearby apartments stop by on their way home. We know most of them by their names now. It is a lot of work keeping things organized especially when the new stock arrives and there is no room to move. We spend a lot of time just dusting bottles and checking labels. It is a basic shop for basic needs. Sometimes the traffic outside gets really loud but inside it is just the sound of the fridge humming. We do not do anything special, we just keep the doors open and wait for the customers. It has been our routine for a long time. Every day is mostly the same which is fine by us. We just make sure the essentials are there.
