Prabhat General Store

Prabhat General Store has been sitting here on Hosur Main Road in Jai Nagar, Bommasandra for quite a while now. We open the shutters pretty early in the morning because the traffic starts early on this road. Most of our days are spent unpacking boxes of soap, lentils, and snacks to keep the shelves full. It gets dusty being right on the main road, so we spend a lot of time wiping things down. There isn't much to say about us, really. We are just a regular shop where people from the neighborhood come to pick up bread or milk on their way home. Sometimes the kids from the nearby houses come in for sweets after school. We know most of our customers by their faces, and a few by name. It’s a family thing, so you’ll usually see one of us sitting behind the counter near the entrance. The store isn't very big, but we try to keep the stuff people actually need daily. If we run out of something, we just write it down in a notebook and try to get it the next day. Working here means you talk to a lot of different people, from truck drivers passing through to the grandmothers living down the street. It’s mostly just quiet work, keeping things organized and making sure the change is right. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. Just shelves and the usual items you'd expect to find in a local spot.
