Pinki Stores

Pinki Stores is situated on G T Road in the Bally area of Howrah. If you know this part of West Bengal, you already know how busy G T Road stays at almost all hours of the day and night. Our shop has been part of this street for many years. We are right there at 711201, and the traffic noise has just become a part of our daily background. We sell general items that people in the Bally neighborhood need for their homes. It is a simple storefront with glass jars filled with colorful sweets and snacks sitting right on the front counter to catch the eye of kids. We spend a lot of time talking to the rickshaw pullers and the locals who stop by for a quick chat while they buy their daily supplies. The weather here in Howrah can be quite damp and humid, so we have to be very careful about how we store things like sugar and flour so they don't get ruined. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket or anything like that. We are just a local store where you can get what you need quickly without any fuss. The shelves are packed very tight, and sometimes it takes us a minute to reach something on the top row using a long wooden stick. We keep our accounts in old registers and know most of our customers by their first names. It is a very normal, local way of doing business on this old road.
