Dey Varity Stores

You can find us at number 12, Subhas Sarani in Kolkata. We are pretty easy to spot because we are right near the Sunil Ghosh Ration Shop. Being close to a ration shop means there are always people walking by our door throughout the day. At Dey Varity Stores, we try to keep a bit of everything. That’s why we call it a variety store. You might find household items, some stationery, or just regular small things you need for the house. It’s a bit of a squeeze inside sometimes because we try to fit a lot of stock into the space we have. Subhas Sarani is an old part of the city and it has its own rhythm. We’ve been here for a while and the shop has become a bit of a fixture on this street. We aren't using any fancy computers or anything to track everything; we just know what’s on the shelves by looking. Sometimes we run out of something and have to wait for the next delivery, but we do our best to stay stocked. It’s a humble place, honestly. We open the shutters in the morning and we’re here until late evening. It’s just a normal way to earn a living and help the people in the neighborhood get their shopping done without having to travel too far from home.
