Arora General Store

Arora General Store has been a part of Jacombpura for quite some time. If you walk through the streets here, you’ll find us easily enough. It’s a typical neighborhood store where we keep a bit of everything on the shelves. From soap and snacks to basic household items, we try to stock what people use every day. The aisles are a bit tight because we want to fit as much as possible in the space we have. There’s always a bit of chatter happening at the counter. Neighbors come in not just to buy milk or bread but also to catch up on what’s happening in the area. We know most of the kids who grow up around here; they come in for sweets after school. The mornings are usually the busiest when everyone is getting ready for work. We have to be quick with the change and the bags then. In the middle of the day, it gets a bit quieter, which gives us time to restock the shelves and clean up. We don't have a computer system or anything fancy, just a notebook and a drawer for the cash. It’s how we’ve always run things. It’s a lot of hours, being open from early morning until late at night, but it feels good to be a familiar face in Jacombpura. We've seen many stores come and go, but we are still here, just doing what we do every single day.
