Laxmi General Store

Our shop is located right on Barwadda Road here in Dhaiya. It is quite close to where they are building the Prabhatam Mall. Being near the Indian School of Mines means we see a lot of students coming in and out throughout the day. They usually look for things like pens or notebooks or maybe some quick snacks when they are tired of the mess food. We keep a variety of general items because you never know what someone might ask for. Sometimes a person comes in for a light bulb and another wants a packet of biscuits. The shop is called Laxmi General Store and it has been in this spot for a decent amount of time. Dhanbad can get very dusty with all the construction and the traffic so we have to wipe the counters pretty often. It is a simple place with just enough room for a few people to stand inside at once. When it rains the water sometimes collects near the entrance and we have to sweep it away. We don't have any big signs or bright lights. Just a small board outside. We open up early because the students are often out before their classes start. It is a long day but it keeps us busy. We don't really do much advertising or anything. People just know we are here and they come when they need something.
