Hazi Usman

Hazi Usman is located right on Victoria Street. If you’re heading towards New City Hospital in Victoria Ganj, you’ll likely pass right by us. It is a very busy part of Lucknow, especially with the hospital traffic and people moving around all day. We keep the shop going through the heat and the rain. It’s a simple setup. We don't have a big corporate team or anything like that, just us working here every day. People stop in for their daily essentials. Usually, it's just quick errands for things they forgot at the market. The shop gets a bit dusty because of the road outside, but we try to keep things organized. We see a lot of different faces, from hospital staff to local families who have lived in this part of Lucknow for years. Sometimes we sit out front when it’s quiet, but it’s rarely quiet for long on Victoria Street. We keep a variety of items on the shelves, mostly things people use in their kitchens or for their houses. It’s not a complicated business. We just sell what people ask for. If you live nearby, you’ve probably seen us. We don't change much, just keep the doors open and wait for the next person to come in. It’s been this way for a long time now. We aren't doing anything special, just providing the basics for the neighborhood in this little corner of the city.
