Anand Store

Anand Store is located on Burdwan Road, which is a major stretch in the Darjeeling district. Living and working in the hills is a bit different than being down in the plains. The air is cooler, and sometimes the mist rolls right into the shop through the front door. We are a small local store that caters to the people living along this road and the travelers passing through. Our shop isn't very large, and it is packed with a little bit of everything. We have shelves that go all the way to the ceiling, and sometimes you have to move three things just to get to the one you actually want. We don't have a team of marketing experts or a social media manager. Most of our customers are people we see every single week. We know their names, and we know what they usually buy. The building is an older one, and the wooden floorboards might creak a bit when you walk on them. We spend a lot of time just sitting behind the counter, watching the traffic go by on Burdwan Road and waiting for the next person to stop in. It is a quiet kind of business, but we like it that way. We aren't trying to change the world; we are just here to provide what the neighborhood needs and earn an honest living in a beautiful part of the country.
