Laxmi General Store

Laxmi General Store is located on Ajmer Road here in Jaipur, not too far from the Hyper City Mall. Even though that big mall is nearby, people still come to us for their quick daily needs. It is much faster to just pop in here for a loaf of bread or a pack of matches than to navigate a giant parking lot. The shop is tucked into a row of other small businesses. We keep a variety of things like shampoos, detergents, and packaged snacks. The space is a bit cluttered because we try to make use of every inch of the walls. We even have things hanging from hooks on the ceiling. The floor is just simple stone and it stays cool in the summer. I usually have a helper who helps me unload the supply trucks that stop on the main road. Traffic on Ajmer Road is always heavy, so it can be a bit of a struggle to get the goods inside. We do not have a big staff or any corporate rules. We just open the shutters in the morning and stay until the last few customers finish their shopping at night. It is a bit noisy with the cars rushing by, but we have gotten used to it over the years. We just try to keep the basics in stock so the neighbors do not have to go far.
