Harpreet General Store

This is Harpreet General Store. We are located at Chowk Bhandian Wala, right in the Main Bazar of Patti. Being in Tarn Taran, especially in a busy market like this, means there is always something happening outside the door. The pincode here is 143416. I usually get here early to pull up the heavy shutters. The Main Bazar starts getting crowded by ten, and then it is just one person after another until evening. I keep all sorts of things, from thread to snacks to washing powder. It is a bit cramped inside because I try to fit as much stock as I can on the old wooden shelves. My uncle used to help me, but now I mostly handle it myself. The tea stall next door is where I get my morning chai every day. People in Patti know this corner well. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just a regular general store where things are stacked up high. Sometimes I have to climb a small ladder to reach the boxes on the top. The floor is made of old stone and it stays cool even when it is hot outside. I like the sound of the market, the tractors passing by and people bargaining. If you are at Chowk Bhandian Wala, you can’t miss us. It is just a place to buy your household items and move on with your day. We try to keep things in stock so nobody leaves without their goods.
