Shiva General Store

We have been running Shiva General Store here in Vikas Nagar for a while now. Most people know us because we are right in Bajrang Plaza, just a few steps away from the Sun Rise Drycleaners. It is a busy little spot in Lucknow and we try to keep the shelves stocked with whatever folks in the neighborhood usually need. It is just a small place, nothing fancy. We start early in the morning and stay open until late evening because that is when people usually stop by after work. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded in the narrow aisles, but everyone is patient. We know most of the customers by their first names or at least by what they usually buy every Tuesday or Friday. The shop has everything from basic groceries to small household things that you realize you ran out of at the last minute. We spend a lot of time checking the inventory and moving boxes around. It is hard work keeping up with the requests, especially when someone asks for something we don't have yet. We just write it down and try to get it in the next delivery. The weather in Lucknow can be tough, but the shop stays cool enough. We don't have a big team or anything, just a few of us making sure the counter is covered. It's just a regular life here at the store, dealing with suppliers and making sure the change is ready for the morning rush. We don't do much advertising; people just walk in.
