Kanha Provision & General Store

If you are looking for us, we are over in Madavganj in the Lashkar area of Gwalior. A lot of people find us by looking for the Denizen showroom, which is nearby and much easier to spot from the main road. Kanha Provision & General Store has been our life for quite a few years now. The shop is full of wooden cabinets that are probably older than I am, but they hold everything together just fine. We have all the staples like different grades of rice, pulses, and cooking oils. Gwalior can get really dusty, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the jars and packets. The customers are usually people from the surrounding colony who have been coming here since they were young. We’ve seen kids grow up and start coming in to buy things for their own homes. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights; we just have a couple of tube lights that flicker sometimes. During the day, it can be a bit slow, but once the sun goes down and people get off work, the shop gets really crowded. We have to move fast to get everyone what they need. It’s a lot of manual work, carrying heavy sacks from the delivery trucks and arranging them in the back room. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us who know where everything is kept. It’s just a regular Gwalior shop doing its thing.
