Aakash General Stores

Aakash General Stores is located on Kotwali Road right in the middle of Azad Market here in Bhopal. Being on Kotwali Road means we are right in the center of a lot of history and commerce. The store itself is packed with all kinds of items that the local families and even some of the other shopkeepers need. We have everything from different brands of tea and coffee to cleaning supplies and stationery for kids. The street outside is usually full of bikes and pedestrians and the noise of horns is something we just live with every day. I try to keep the front of the shop clear so people can see what we have in stock. The counter is quite old and has some scratches on it but it serves its purpose well. I spend a lot of my time checking the dates on the packets and making sure nothing is sitting on the shelf for too long. Bhopal gets quite hot in the summer months so we try to keep the store as cool as possible with a couple of ceiling fans. My son helps me out during the busy hours after he finishes his college classes. We don't use any fancy computers for our bills just a simple ledger and a pen. Most people who come here have been our customers for a long time and we know exactly what they are looking for as soon as they walk through the door.
