Tapas Stores

Tapas Stores is situated on Chouhati Darir Road, which is part of the Sonarpur area. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, so things move a little slower out here. We’ve been operating out of this location for several years. The road can get pretty muddy when it rains, and that sometimes keeps people away, but usually, we have a steady stream of locals coming in. It’s a general store setup, so we carry a bit of everything that people might need for their homes. I run the place with my cousin, and we take turns handling the morning and evening shifts. We don't have any polished displays or fancy lighting. It’s just shelves filled with goods and a counter where we take the cash. We spend a lot of time talking to the neighbors about the weather or whatever else is happening in Sonarpur. It feels more like a community spot than just a business. Sometimes we run out of popular items because the supply truck didn't show up on time, and we just have to explain it to people. We don't use any flyers or social media to get customers. They just know we are here on the road. It’s a quiet life, mostly, and we like it that way. We just keep the store open and wait for the next person to walk in. There is always a lot to do, from dusting to counting the inventory. We just do our bit every day.
