Arora Provision Store

We are located at Shop No.14 in Shri Ganpati Market, which is part of the Purani Sabzi Mandi area. It’s an old part of town and the market has a lot of history. Our store is packed from floor to ceiling with all kinds of groceries and household items. If you come in, you’ll see bags of rice, stacks of soap, and jars of spices everywhere. It’s a bit of a squeeze to walk through the aisles. We’ve been here for many years, serving the families who come to the mandi for their daily needs. The market is always loud with people haggling and carts moving around. We start early in the morning to get everything ready before the main crowd arrives. My hands are usually busy weighing out pulses or packing up sugar. We have a small wooden counter where we do all the billing. It’s an old-fashioned way of doing things, but our customers like it. We know most of the people by name and we know what they usually buy. Sometimes we run out of something and have to wait for the next delivery truck to squeeze through the narrow market streets. It’s a busy life, but we enjoy the talk and the bustle of the old market. We don't have fancy lights or displays. It’s just a simple provision store where you can find what you need for your kitchen. Every evening we sweep the front step before locking up for the night.
