Arora General Store

Our store is right there at the Alod Bus Stand. It’s a busy place with people always coming and going from the buses. We have been running Arora General Store for quite some time now. We sell a bit of everything, from snacks and drinks to small things people might have forgotten at home before they traveled. The shelves are always packed and sometimes it’s hard to find a spot for new stock. We get a lot of dust from the buses pulling in and out all day, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the counters. It’s not a quiet job. You hear the engines and the conductors shouting all day long. We know most of the drivers and the regulars who live around Alod. It’s a simple life. We start early in the morning before the first bus arrives. Some days are long, especially when the weather is bad and people are waiting around. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are. We try to keep the basics in stock so no one leaves disappointed. The lighting in the back is a bit dim and the door squeaks when it opens, but it’s our shop and we like it that way. We just take things one customer at a time and try to stay organized in the middle of all the bus station rush. It keeps us on our toes for sure.
