Idea Stores

We are located in Ghaziabad, and it is a pretty busy area to be in. Idea Stores is just a simple shop that we have been running for a while now. We handle a bit of everything, from mobile recharges to small everyday items that people might need on their way home from work. The shelves are mostly full of things like snacks, pens, and batteries. It gets very hot here in the summer, and the dust from the road seems to find its way onto everything, no matter how much we clean. We have a small glass counter where we keep the more expensive items like memory cards or earphones. There is usually a radio playing softly in the background to pass the time when it is quiet. Most of our customers are people from the nearby apartments or workers catching a bus. We don't do any big advertising or anything like that. People just know we are here. Sometimes the electricity goes out for an hour or two, and we just sit outside on the steps and talk to the person running the tea stall next door. It is a slow pace of life even though the city around us is so fast. We just try to keep the basics in stock so nobody leaves empty-handed when they stop by our shop.
