Bankey Bihari Stores

Our store is located right in the Highway Plaza, near the Goverdhan Crossing on the Delhi-Agra Highway. It’s a very busy spot because we are right by the Mandi Crossing and National Highway 2. There is always a constant sound of trucks and cars zooming past us. We see a lot of different people every day, from travelers stopping for a break to locals from the nearby areas. The store stays open for long hours because the highway never really sleeps. We keep a variety of goods stocked up on the shelves. It’s a bit of a challenge keeping the place clean with all the road dust, but we do our best with a broom every morning. We don’t have any fancy displays, just the items lined up where people can see them easily. Sometimes it gets really crowded when a bus stops nearby and everyone comes in at once. We just handle the customers one by one. I usually sit near the front so I can see who’s coming in. It’s a lot of standing and moving around, especially during the holiday seasons when the highway is packed. We’ve been at this crossing for a good amount of time and have seen many people pass through. It’s a simple life running a shop on the side of the road. We just keep the lights on and make sure we have what people are looking for when they stop their cars for a quick break.
