Chaturvedi Provision Store

This is Chaturvedi Provision Store. We are located at 119/111 in Gumti No 5, Kanpur. It’s right near the Subzi Mandi and Bamba Road, so the area is always loud and full of people. We sell basic things like flour, oil, and pulses. The shop has been here for a long time, passed down from my father. It’s not a modern place. We still use old wooden shelves and a heavy iron scale for some things. The lighting isn't the brightest, but it’s enough to see what's on the labels. We get a lot of foot traffic from the vegetable market next door. People stop by to pick up their kitchen staples after buying their greens. It gets really crowded in the evenings. We do our best to serve everyone quickly. Sometimes we run out of change, which is a bit of a hassle. My nephew helps out after his college hours. We keep a ledger book for regular accounts. It’s an old-fashioned way of doing things, I know. But it works for us and the neighbors. The address is easy to find if you know the mandi area. We just keep doing what we've been doing for years. There's no big story to it. Just a shop in a busy corner of Kanpur. We close on some festival days to rest. Otherwise, you can find us here behind the counter, weighing out the grains for the locals.
