National Departmental Store

National Departmental Store is located at number 86 on Benar Road in the Puran Vihar area of Jhotwara. It is a pretty big name for a place that actually feels more like a local hangout than a shop. We have got a little bit of everything squeezed onto the shelves. From household cleaners and buckets to snacks and basic stationery, we try to keep a decent variety for the people living nearby. The building itself is quite older, and we have had to fix leaks in the roof a couple of times over the years. It is definitely not a modern supermarket like the ones you see in the big shopping malls. It is much more personal than that. We spend a lot of our time restocking the shelves and checking the dates on the food products. Jhotwara is a fast-growing area, so we see new people moving into the neighborhood all the time. Benar Road gets quite dusty with all the construction and traffic, so we have to wipe down the glass counters pretty often during the day. We do not wear uniforms or anything like that here. We just wear our regular clothes and talk to whoever walks through the door. Sometimes it gets quite loud when the local school kids come by for sweets and cold drinks in the afternoon. We just handle the rush and then it goes back to being quiet again.
