Food Land Departmental Store

Food Land Departmental Store is tucked away in Alwar House over in Shastri Nagar. It’s a bit bigger than your average corner shop, but it still feels like a local place. We’ve got rows of metal shelving filled with everything from imported chocolates to local pickles. Being at A-30 means we get a lot of people from the nearby houses walking over in the evenings. The lighting inside is a bit bright and clinical, but we try to keep the atmosphere friendly. We spend a lot of time checking the inventory because things tend to get lost in the back corners. Jaipur summers are no joke, so the air conditioning is usually running full blast, which makes the shop a popular place for people to linger. We have a couple of guys who help with the billing and the heavy lifting. The floor is white marble and shows every single footprint, so we’re constantly mopping. It’s a lot of work keeping track of so many different items. We have a section for household plastics and another for frozen foods that keeps us busy. We don't really do much advertising. People just know we're here at Alwar House. It’s just a matter of showing up every day and making sure the shelves aren't empty. We’re just regular people trying to run a decent shop for the community.
