Thinka Karyana Store

If you’re heading down Ram Tirth Rd or Jagowana Rd in Amritsar, you’ll find Thinka Karyana Store in Vpo Mahal. We are right opposite the Jeevan Singh Gurdwara. Being near the Gurdwara means there’s always a lot of people moving around, especially on important days. We started this karyana shop because it’s a busy spot and people always need groceries. Amritsar can be a very busy place, and our corner of Vpo Mahal is no different. The air often smells of local food and sometimes you can hear the prayers from across the road. We stock all the staples like pulses, rice, and oils. The shop stays quite cool in the summer because of how it’s built, which is a relief. I handle most of the work myself, from unloading the bags to helping customers find what they need. We don't use any fancy systems, just a notebook and some common sense. It’s a 143001 pin code area, so we get a mix of locals and people just passing through to visit the Gurdwara. I’ve lived here a long time, so I know most of the families around Ram Tirth Rd. We don't have any big goals of becoming a huge chain. We just want to keep the shelves full and the regulars happy. It’s just a regular local shop where you can stop by and get what you need for dinner. We keep things pretty simple around here for everyone.
