Om General Store

Om General Store is right in the middle of the bustle at Kedar Nath Market in Sadar Bazar. If you’ve been to shop number 9, you know it’s a tight squeeze. We carry a bit of everything because that’s what a general store does. From soap to snacks to basic household items, we try to keep the staples in stock. It gets very loud in the market, especially in the afternoons. We’ve been here for years, and we know most of the neighbors by name. It’s a family-run kind of thing. We don't have fancy displays or barcodes for everything. We just know where things are kept and how much they cost. Some days are so busy you barely have time to sit down, but other times it’s quiet and we just chat with whoever walks in. The market is old and the streets are narrow, but it has a lot of character. We open early and stay late because people always forget they need something at the last minute. We aren’t trying to be a supermarket. We’re just a local shop where you can grab what you need and go. Sometimes the delivery guys struggle to find a place to park their bikes nearby. We just deal with it and keep the shelves filled as best as we can. It’s a simple life, but we like being part of the market community.
