Gaba Provision & General Store

Gaba Provision & General Store is tucked away in Sector 37 at number 130. It’s a typical neighborhood shop where we sell everything from bags of flour to bars of soap. If you walk in, you’ll probably see me or one of the family members behind the counter. We’ve got jars of candy for the kids and big sacks of rice sitting on the floor. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than three people are inside at once. Sector 37 is a quiet residential area for the most part, so we know most of the people who live in the houses nearby. They come in for their daily milk or when they’ve run out of salt while cooking dinner. We don't have a computer system for everything; we still write some things down in a notebook. The shelves are packed high, and sometimes I have to use a stool to reach the stuff at the top. It’s been this way for years. We open up early in the morning before the sun is really up and stay till late evening. It can be tiring standing all day, but it’s nice being part of the community. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket. We just want to make sure the neighbors can get what they need without having to drive across town. It’s simple work, but it feels good to be useful.
