Shri Chand General Store

This shop at 160 Johari Bazar has been our second home for a long time. It’s a small general store, so we carry a bit of everything that people living nearby might need. From soap and toothbrushes to some snacks and basic kitchen supplies, it's all packed in here on the shelves. Sometimes it feels like there isn't enough space for everything, but we manage to find what customers ask for. It gets really crowded in the evenings when everyone is heading home from work. We open early in the morning and stay until late at night. There isn’t much to say about it, it's just a regular store where you can pick up milk or some biscuits. We know most of the people who come in by their first names since they’ve been shopping here for years. The building is old, like most things in Johari Bazar, and it has that specific smell of spices and cleaning products mixed together. We don't have a fancy website or anything. If someone needs a bag of sugar or a new broom, they just stop by. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when it's quiet and watch the people go by. It’s a busy life but we like being part of the community here. The shelves might look a bit messy sometimes, but we know where everything is kept. It’s just us running the place day in and day out.
