Dhan Dhan Deep Singh General Store

Our store is right across from the park in Rishi Vihar, occupying shops five and six. Having the park right there is nice because families often come over after they have been out for a walk. We carry all the general supplies that a household might run out of during the week. There is flour, spices, some toiletries, and snacks. Because we have two shop spaces joined together, we have a little more room than some of the other stores around here. We still manage to fill it up pretty quickly with crates and bags though. The view of the park is good, but mostly we are looking at the shelves or the customers. Amritsar is a busy city and Rishi Vihar has its own local feel. We open the shutters early in the morning and stay until the street lights have been on for a while. We do not have a website or anything like that. People just walk in when they see the door is open. Sometimes we sit on stools outside when it is quiet, just watching the kids play in the park across the way. We try to keep the prices fair so people keep coming back. It is not a complicated business, just buying things in bulk and selling them to the neighbors. We do our own accounts and keep everything in notebooks behind the counter. It is a simple way to spend the day and it keeps the pantry full.
