Chotu Provision Store

Chotu Provision Store is situated near Chhawani Chouraha, specifically at Dadabadi Vikas Yojana 7. It’s a typical local shop where we keep a bit of everything that a household might run out of during the week. I’ve been here at number 7 for a long time, and the shop has become a bit of a landmark for people living in the Vikas Yojana area. We sell items like detergents, bottled water, snacks, and basic toiletries. The space is a bit cramped because we try to stock a lot of different brands to give people choices. There’s a small counter at the front where I spend most of my day. It is a lively spot because of the Chouraha nearby, so there is always someone popping in for a quick purchase. I don't have any help, so I handle the stocking, the cleaning, and the sales all by myself. Sometimes I forget to update the prices on the shelves right away, but I always know them by heart. The shop doesn't have a fancy interior; the walls are plain, and the lighting is just a couple of tube lights. It’s a practical place for the community. I like the routine of opening up, greeting the regulars, and seeing the neighborhood wake up. If you are around Chhawani Chouraha and need something for the house, you can just look for the shop at Dadabadi Vikas Yojana 7. We are usually here until evening.
