Shri Jaladanba General Stores

Shri Jaladanba General Stores is tucked away in Magadi. We are specifically located at 534 in the Old Tapkir Gali. If you know these narrow lanes, you know they have a lot of character. The shop is small but we pack a lot of things into it. Every inch of wall space has a shelf with something on it. From soaps to snacks, it is all there. Old Tapkir Gali is the kind of place where everyone knows their neighbors. We see the same faces every morning when people come out to get their daily supplies. The number 534 is painted on the wall outside. It can be a bit dark inside the Gali even when the sun is out, so a few lights stay on all day. This isn't a modern supermarket. It is just a general store where things are handled by hand. I spend a lot of time reaching for jars on high shelves or weighing things out for people. Sometimes the street gets blocked by a delivery cart and everything stops for a minute. That is just how life is in this part of Magadi. We have been here at 534 for a long time. It is a simple way to live and work. The shelves stay stocked and we wait for the next customer to arrive. That's the daily routine and we like it just fine.
