Krishna General Store

Our shop is called Krishna General Store and we are located in the Gupteshwar Ward of Jabalpur. Specifically, you can find us at Kripal Chouk. This part of Jabalpur is quite traditional and has a strong sense of community. We have been running this general store for a long time, serving the people who live in the ward. The store is filled with everything from spices to stationery. It is a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes because we try to fit so much into a small space. We know almost everyone who walks through the door by their first name. We hear about their families and their work while we are bagging up their items. Kripal Chouk is always active, and there is usually a lot of noise from the street, but we don't mind it much. It feels like the heart of the neighborhood. We don't use any big marketing tricks or fancy displays. We just put the goods where people can see them and tell them the price. Our days start early and end when the last customer leaves. It is a practical way to earn a living and stay involved with the local people. We keep a ledger for those who pay later, which is common in a place like this. It is all based on trust and being a familiar face in the Gupteshwar area. This is our life and we are happy to keep the store going for as long as we can.
