World Pet Mart

If you go up to the first floor of Gokul Palace in Maninagar, you will find us right across from the Dena Bank. We have been running World Pet Mart here for some time. Being at a busy intersection like the Char Rasta means there is always noise from the street. We stock things for dogs, cats, and sometimes birds. It’s not a huge store, but keeping the shelves full of the basics people need is what we do. The food bags are heavy, and moving them around so the oldest stuff stays in the back takes up a lot of time. Usually, I handle the counter myself or have one of the boys help out when it gets crowded on Saturday nights. Most of the local pet owners are known to us by name. They come in for kibble or maybe a new leash. Sometimes the shop gets a bit cluttered because a big shipment arrives and there isn't enough space to put it all away immediately. Trying to be a fancy mall store isn't our goal. It’s just a place to get what your pet needs without a lot of fuss. Ahmedabad is hot, so the fans are always going. Because it is a neighborhood spot, it feels exactly like that. We just keep doing what we do every day. There are some toys and bowls too. Not every brand is in stock all the time, but ordering what people ask for is something we try to do. Our setup is simple. We open in the morning and stay until late.
