Salig Ram Kishan Chand

Salig Ram Kishan Chand is located at 809 Ludhiana. We are on 2nd Cross, 2nd Main, right near the old Octroi Post. It’s an old part of the city, and the streets are a bit narrow. We’ve been here for many years, so we know all the locals. Our business is a bit of a mix of things, whatever people in the neighborhood need. The shop is filled with shelves that go all the way to the ceiling. It’s a bit dark inside because the buildings are so close together. We use a lot of old ledgers to keep track of things. We aren't really into using computers for everything yet. It’s just easier to write it down. My grandfather’s name is still on the sign outside, though it’s faded quite a bit over the years. We don't see any reason to change it. We open early every morning and stay until the street gets quiet at night. There isn't any fancy decor here. Just some old chairs and a counter where we talk to customers. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot, but we just keep doing what we’ve always done. The stairs to the upper storage are a bit creaky, so you have to watch your step when you're going up there to find something old. We've got some items that have probably been on those shelves since the eighties.
