Shaw Stores

Shaw Stores is located in the Kumarkhali area of Kolkata, specifically at 1, Shaw Stores. We are in the 700002 postal code, which is a busy and crowded part of the city. Our shop is one of those places that has been around forever, tucked into a corner where people pass by on their way to work. It’s a very simple setup with a lot of stuff packed into a small area. We have everything from spices to cleaning supplies stacked on the shelves. Sometimes it takes us a minute to find exactly what a customer is asking for because the piles can get quite high. We don't have any air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that hums all day long. The floor is concrete and shows the wear and tear of many years of foot traffic. We aren't interested in being the biggest store in Kolkata. We just want to make sure the people living in Kumarkhali have a place nearby to get their daily items. You’ll usually find us chatting with a regular or reorganizing the stock when it’s quiet. We write our receipts by hand and we know which of our customers prefer which brands. It’s a very personal way of doing business, even if it’s a bit old-fashioned. That’s just the way we like to run Shaw Stores and keep things going.
