Jakhad General Store

We’ve been here on Ajmer Road in Mokhampura for quite a while now. It’s just a regular shop where people from the Jaipur G P O area stop by for their daily needs. Mostly it’s just me and a couple of others keeping things organized on the shelves. Sometimes it gets really busy in the mornings when everyone realizes they’re out of something for breakfast. We try to keep the staples in stock as much as possible. The weather gets pretty hot out here in Jaipur, so we keep the fans going all day. If you’re driving down the road, you’ll see us easily enough. Nothing fancy at all, just a plain general store. We know most of the faces that walk through the door by now. It’s a quiet spot usually during the midday heat. A lot of folks stop in on their way home after work. We spend most of our time checking what needs to be restocked or just chatting with the neighbors about local news. It’s hard work keeping everything tidy but it is what we do. The address is easy to find if you are familiar with this part of the city. We have seen the area change a bit over the years. Usually, we are open early and stay until the sun goes down. Just a simple place for simple things. Sometimes we run out of stuff but we try to get it back on the shelf quickly. The front door sticks a bit when it rains.
