Gurcharan Singh & Sons

Gurcharan Singh & Sons has been a fixture in Rampura Bazar for quite a while. You can find us on the street of Baxpuri Kund. It is an old part of the city and the lanes are narrow, so getting goods in and out takes some effort. Our shop is filled with all sorts of things stacked up to the ceiling. It might look a bit messy to someone who hasn't been here before, but we know exactly where everything is kept. There is a lot of history in these walls. My sons help out with the heavy lifting and keeping track of what needs to be ordered. We deal with many regular faces who have been coming to us for years. The floor is made of old stone and it stays cool even when it is boiling outside. We don't have a computer to track things, we just use the big ledgers and a pen. It works for us. Sometimes the street gets blocked by a cart or a cow, and we just stand at the doorway and chat with the neighbors until it clears up. We sell practical items that people need for their houses or their work. There is no flashy lighting or big advertisements. We just open the shutters in the morning and stay until the sun goes down. It is honest work and it keeps the family together in this busy market. We are happy to stay right here.
