Bitu General Store

We have been at Shop No.15 in Main Bazar for quite a while now. Most people know us because we’re right by the railway lines here in Sunder Nagar. It gets pretty loud when the trains go by, but you get used to it after a few days. We keep the shelves stocked with the usual things folks need every day in Amritsar. If you are walking through the bazaar, you’ll see our door open. Sometimes we’re busy sorting through new stock that just arrived. The floor might have a few boxes on it. It’s a small place, but we try to keep what people ask for most. My family helps out behind the counter when things get busy in the evenings. We don't have a big fancy sign or anything, just the shop where we've always been. Some days are slow. We just sit and talk with the neighbors who stop by for a minute. If you need something for the kitchen or just a small item for the house, we likely have it tucked away somewhere on a shelf. The location is handy if you’re coming from the station side. We just try to get through the day and make sure the customers get what they came for without too much fuss. It's just a regular local shop like any other in this part of town. We open early most mornings and stay until the market starts to quiet down at night. We’ve seen many changes in Amritsar over the years but our little corner stays pretty much the same.
