Paarth Chemist General Stores

If you walk behind the Swaminarayan Temple in Kandivali West, you’ll find us at Shop No 10 in Kalyan Apartment. Paarth Chemist General Stores has been a part of this corner for quite some time. We sell a bit of everything, from the medicines people need to the basic household stuff you realize you’ve run out of at the last minute. The shop isn't huge, so we have to stack things pretty high on the shelves to fit it all in. It feels a bit cramped sometimes, but we know where everything is. People from the apartments nearby usually just pop in for a quick item. We spend most of our time chatting with the regulars and helping them find what’s on their list. It’s a local spot, so we know most of the families around here. We try to keep the stock updated based on what people actually ask for. Being near the temple means there are always people walking by, especially in the evenings. It’s a nice atmosphere to work in. We aren't a big chain store, just a regular chemist and general shop. We do our own ordering and unpacking. Sometimes deliveries arrive late and we have to shuffle boxes around while customers are waiting. It's just how it is when you're running a small place. We like being the go-to shop for the neighborhood's daily needs. It keeps us busy from morning until we close up at night. We've seen kids grow up and start coming in for their own things now.
