New Shankar Stores

New Shankar Stores is located at No.35 on Godown Street in the Parrys area. If you’ve ever been to Parrys, you know how crowded and narrow these streets can be. It’s a constant maze of people, handcarts, and vehicles trying to squeeze past each other. Our store is tucked into one of these buildings, and we’ve been here for a good long while. We sell a bit of everything, mostly stuff that people in the trade need. The shelves are packed high, and sometimes it’s hard to find things if you don’t know exactly where to look. It’s a loud place with people shouting orders and the sound of the city right outside the door. We don’t have any fancy displays or air conditioning. It’s just us, some fans, and a lot of stock. Most of our customers are regulars who have been buying from us for decades. They know they can just walk in and we’ll help them find what they’re looking for. The air is often thick with the smell of the market. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to work by candlelight for a bit, but we don't let it stop us. We open early and close late, just like everyone else on Godown Street. It’s a tough environment, but there is a lot of history in these walls. We’re just happy to be a small part of the chaos that makes this city work.
