Vashudev General Store

Our shop is located in the heart of Azad Market in Bhopal right on Lalwani Press Road. This part of the city is always bustling with activity and the streets are quite narrow so it gets very crowded during the festive seasons. Vashudev General Store has been a part of this market for many years and we have seen the area change quite a bit. We stock a wide variety of goods ranging from kitchen supplies to personal care items like soaps and shampoos. The building is old but we try to keep the inside of the shop organized so people can find what they want easily. Lalwani Press Road is known for being busy so we get a lot of foot traffic from people who are visiting other shops in the market. I usually have a helper with me to help carry heavy sacks or to reach things from the back storeroom. We don't have much space for people to stand around inside so it’s usually a quick in-and-out kind of place. The light inside isn’t very bright but it’s enough to see the labels on the jars. Dealing with so many different people every day can be tiring but it’s also interesting to hear all the local gossip from around Bhopal. We keep the doors open from early morning until the market starts to quiet down in the late evening. It is a lot of work but it’s what we know how to do.
