Nakoda Provision Store

Running Nakoda Provision Store on Raipur Agrasen Market Road is a lot of work, honestly. The market road is always packed with people looking for their daily supplies. We open up pretty early because that’s when the milk and bread deliveries come in. You can hear the motorcycles and the carts rattling past outside. It’s a bit of a squeeze inside the store sometimes with all the sacks of grain and the shelves full of jars. We try to keep everything in some kind of order, but when it gets busy, things just go where they fit. Raipur Agrasen is a good spot for a shop like this because people are always walking by on their way home. I’ve lived around here for a long time, so I know most of the people who stop in. We don’t have a big sign or anything special, just the name on the front. Sometimes I think about moving things around, but then I get too busy with the customers. The floor gets dirty pretty quick with all the feet coming in and out, so we sweep a few times a day. It’s just me and maybe one other person helping out when things get crazy. We don't really do anything fancy here. It’s just a provision store. We sell what people need for their kitchens and their homes. It’s a lot of lifting and counting, but it’s what we know. The days are long, but that’s just the market life.
