Shankar General & Provision Stores

We are situated in Sector 62, right near the Kidzee School, at C 30/6A. Having a school nearby means we get a lot of kids coming in for snacks or pencils. It gets very loud for about twenty minutes when school lets out. Then it goes back to being a quiet neighborhood shop. We stock the usual provisions. Flour, sugar, oil, and spices. It’s a small space, so we have to use every inch of the walls. I spend a lot of time restocking the shelves. My wife helps out in the afternoons. We live nearby, so the commute is just a short walk. We know most of the families in the sector. They come in for their weekly groceries or just a single item they forgot at the big supermarket. We don't try to compete with the big stores. We just offer what’s convenient. Sometimes the stray dogs sit outside the door because it's cool. We don't mind. The shop is simple. No fancy computers, just a notebook for keeping track of things. Sometimes the electricity flickers when the weather is bad. We just use a flashlight and keep going. It’s a steady rhythm. We open early so people can get what they need before work. It’s just a normal part of the Sector 62 community.
