Rafat General Stores

Rafat General Stores is sitting at house number 478 in Darzi Bazar. This part of Aurangabad, especially near the Cantonment area, has its own pace. We are in the 431001 zip code, and if you know the bazar, you know it can get quite lively with all the shoppers. Our store is just a general place where you can find a bit of everything. We keep stationery for the school kids, some basic medicines, household items, and snacks. It’s one of those shops where the shelves are full from floor to ceiling. Since we are in Darzi Bazar, there are always people walking past, and many of them pop in for a quick item they missed buying elsewhere. We aren’t trying to be a big supermarket. We are just a local shop where we handle the counter ourselves. The building is old, and the street can be noisy with the traffic from the HO area, but inside it’s just the usual business of weighing things and bagging them up. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty with all the construction nearby, but we keep cleaning the counters. We’ve seen the neighborhood change over the years, but the basic needs of the people here stay the same. We just keep the staples in stock and wait for the next customer to come in with their list. It's a steady way to spend the day in Aurangabad.
