Jain Provision Stores

We are located right on Mansarovar Main Road, at number 112/101. It’s a typical corner-style provision store where we keep a bit of everything on the shelves for the locals. From lentils and rice to soap and snacks, it’s all packed in there. It can get pretty cramped when there are more than three or four people in the shop at once. We know the neighbors well since they stop by almost every day for small things they forgot to buy at the big market. It’s a family-run kind of place. Sometimes you'll see the kids helping out behind the counter after their school finishes. We don't have those fancy scanners or computers; we mostly just remember the prices or look at the handwritten labels on the jars. The mornings are usually slow, but once people start coming home from work in the evening, it gets really hectic around here. We try to keep everything fresh, but sometimes the delivery truck doesn't show up on time. That’s just part of running a small neighborhood shop. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, but we’ve stayed right in this same spot. People like that they can just walk over and grab what they need without a big fuss. It’s not a supermarket, just a regular store for regular people. We still keep a ledger for some of the regulars who like to pay at the end of the month when they get their salary.
