Kader Stores

Out on Satgaon Road in the Panjabari area of Guwahati, you can find Kader Stores. It’s a bit of a walk from the main junction but people know where we are. We have been handling groceries for a good while now. The shop is filled with all sorts of things, from sacks of grain to small toys for the neighborhood kids. Guwahati weather can be quite unpredictable, so we spend a lot of time moving things away from the door when it starts to rain. The shop floor is concrete and a bit worn down from all the feet walking over it. We don't have a big staff, it's just us taking turns at the counter. We get our supplies from the local market and try to keep the prices fair for everyone around here. Satgaon is a growing place, so we see new faces sometimes, but mostly it's the same regulars. We talk about the local news or the weather while we weigh out the sugar or pack up the lentils. It’s not a polished place with bright lights. It's just a regular store where the shelves are a bit crowded and the lightbulbs flicker once in a while. We stay open until late evening so folks can grab what they forgot during the day. It’s just how we run things here in 781037. There is always a lot to do, but we like the rhythm of it all.
