Pratap General Store

Pratap General Store is located in Jagat Market along P. Road. We are at 104/418, which is right by Gopla Takiz. It’s a noisy area sometimes because of the traffic and the cinema crowds, but we like it that way. Being in Kanpur 208012 means there is always something going on outside the shop. I remember when we first moved into this spot. The market was a bit different then, but the people stay the same. We carry basics. If you need tea leaves or a new scrub brush for the dishes, we probably have it tucked away somewhere on the shelves. It’s not a supermarket. It is just a local shop where things are stacked high. Sometimes it takes me a minute to find the exact brand of soap someone wants. My nephew helps out on weekends when it gets really busy. The shop isn't very large, so we have to use every bit of wall space. P. Road is a long stretch, but Jagat Market is a good landmark for us. Most of our regulars live just a few streets away. They stop in on their way home from work. We usually have the radio playing low in the background. It helps pass the time when it's quiet in the afternoons. We don't do anything special here. We just open up in the morning and stay until the lights in the market start going off.
