Preet General Stores

Preet General Stores is located in the Bhusari Colony area on Paud Road in Ludhiana. It is a quiet residential part of town, which suits us just fine. Most of our days are spent waiting for the locals to come in for their bread, milk, or eggs. We have been here for a good while now, and the shop has become a bit of a meeting spot for the aunties in the colony. They come in for one thing and end up staying for twenty minutes to talk. I don't mind it much, as it makes the day go by faster. The shop itself is pretty basic. We have a few refrigerators that hum quite loudly and some metal racks for the dry goods. The lighting isn't the best, especially in the back corners, but we know where everything is. We don't do any big advertising; everyone just knows we are here on Paud Road. Sometimes the kids from the neighborhood come in with a few coins for candy, and we let them take their time choosing. It’s not the kind of place that makes a lot of money, but it’s a steady living. We try to keep the place clean, but with people coming and going all day, it's hard to keep the floor spotless. It’s just a small, local shop for the people living nearby, and we are happy with that.
