Ashok General Stores

Ashok General Stores is located over in Kantapukur, right in the Ghoraghata area of Bagnan. We are situated on Station Road, which is a very active part of Howrah. The zip code is 711303 if you are looking for us on a map. It is just a plain general store, nothing too special about the building itself. We have been here for years, serving the local people who live around Kantapukur. The shop is filled with all the little things you might run out of at home, like matches, tea leaves, or snacks for the kids. Station Road is always full of people heading towards the trains or coming back after a long day of work. The noise of the horns and the people talking is just part of the background for us. We don't have a big team of people, just a few of us making sure everything is in its place. Sometimes the stock doesn't arrive on time, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s a bit frustrating, but that is how business goes sometimes. We don't use any high-tech systems here. We just write things down in a ledger and keep an eye on the shelves. It is a humble place, and we like it that way. Most of our customers are our neighbors, so it feels more like a community spot than just a store.
