Laxmi Devi General Store

If you are walking down the Main Road in Guwahati, you’ll probably see Laxmi Devi General Store. We are right there at 781005. It’s a basic shop that sells a bit of everything. We have been here for years and the building is getting a little old, but it works for us. We get a lot of foot traffic since we are on the main path. People stopping by on their way home from work is pretty common. We carry the usual staples like rice, pulses, and household cleaners. It’s a bit cramped inside because we try to fit as much as we can on the shelves. Sometimes things fall over if you aren't careful. We aren't trying to be a big mall. Just a local general store where you can get your chores done quickly. The weather in Guwahati can be tough on the storefront, so we are always cleaning or fixing something. It’s a lot of work running a place by yourself or with just a couple of people. We don't have fancy displays. We just put the items out where people can see them. Most of our regulars have been coming here since they were kids. Now they bring their own children. It’s nice to see the families grow up. We keep things simple and just focus on the daily tasks of the shop. That is all there is to it at our spot on Main Road.
