About G L Varity Stores – Housewares & Supplies in Kolkata
G L Varity Stores is located in the Motijhil area of Kolkata, specifically near Roy Mollik Bagan. I have lived in this part of the city for my whole life, so opening a shop here just felt like the right thing to do. It is called a variety store because I try to keep a bit of everything on the shelves. One corner has stationery and notebooks for the school kids, and the other side has household things like plastic buckets and cleaning liquids. Kolkata can get very humid in the summer, so I have a big old fan that stays on all day long. The shop is at number 33 and it has become a bit of a local landmark for people living in the neighborhood. I don't really have a set routine for when I restock. I just see what is running low on the shelves and call up the supplier. Sometimes they forget to bring the right items, and I just have to make do with what I have. The wooden shelves have seen better days, but they still hold the weight of the bottles well. I really enjoy the morning hours when it is cooler and the street is just starting to wake up. I usually drink my first tea while waiting for the first customer to come by. People here like to talk, so a simple purchase can take ten minutes. I wouldn't have it any other way. It is a small place for local folks.
