Anand Karyana Store

Anand Karyana Store is right near Bihari Ki Chakki in Vishkarma Colony, Ludhiana. The address is 12842 if you are looking for us. Being near the flour mill means it’s always a bit busy around here. People come to get their wheat ground and then stop by our shop for other groceries. We sell everything from mustard oil to bathing soaps. The shop is small and the ceiling is low, so it stays relatively cool even when it’s hot outside. We have been here for a long time, so we know most of the families by name. We don't have a big staff, just us family members taking turns behind the counter. Sometimes the stock doesn't arrive on time because of the Ludhiana traffic, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s a bit of a struggle sometimes, but we manage. We use old scales for weighing out the sugar and dal. The floor is made of old cement and has some cracks, but it’s sturdy enough for the heavy bags. We don't bother with fancy decorations or marketing. We just focus on keeping the shelves full of what people actually use in their kitchens every day. It’s a simple life, and the shop is the center of it for us. We just keep moving along and serving the local folks.
