Uppal General Store

Uppal General Store is located in the Salem Tabri area of Ludhiana, specifically in New Janakpuri. You can find us at number 336. We are a general store, so we carry a bit of everything. Whether it’s stationery for the school kids, some toiletries, or basic snacks, we usually have it on the shelves. The shop isn’t huge, so we have to be smart about how we stack things. It can get a bit crowded when a few people come in at once, but everyone is patient. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the kids who grow up and then bring their own children in. It’s nice to see the families change over time. Ludhiana can be a noisy place, but inside the store, it’s mostly just the sound of the ceiling fan and people chatting. We don’t have any big corporate goals. We just want to make sure we don't run out of the things the neighbors need. If the bread delivery is late, we worry about it because we know people are waiting. It’s a simple responsibility but we take it seriously. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket. We like being the local shop where you can come in for a single pen or a loaf of bread and have a quick word about the weather. It makes the day go by faster.
