Prafful Provision Stores

You can find Prafful Provision Stores over on New Sanganer Road in Katwara Nagar, at number 131. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always something going on outside our door. We’ve been running this store for quite a while, focusing on the everyday things people need for their kitchens and homes. We’ve got big sacks of grains sitting on the floor and rows of jars filled with all sorts of things. It’s not a supermarket where you wander around with a cart; it’s more the kind of place where you tell us what you need and we get it for you from the shelves. We spend a lot of time weighing out sugar or pulses into smaller bags. The floor is made of old stone and it’s seen a lot of foot traffic over the years. We don’t really do any big promotions or sales; we just sell things at the normal price every day. Sometimes we run out of something and have to tell people to come back tomorrow after the supply truck comes. It’s a simple way to make a living. We know most of the families in Katwara Nagar because they’ve been coming to us for years. The shop can get a bit hot in the summer, but we keep the doors wide open to catch whatever breeze comes off New Sanganer Road. It’s just a plain, reliable shop for the neighborhood where you can get what you need.
