Mahaveer Store

If you are walking down K.G. Marg, you'll find us at Shop No-4. It is a small store, but we try to keep it packed with the things people in this area need. Being on K.G. Marg means we see a lot of different people every day, from office workers to tourists just passing through. The shop has been here for a while, and it has a bit of that old-school feel to it. The shelves are quite tall and we have to use a ladder sometimes to reach the stuff at the top. It’s not a supermarket where you wander around with a cart. It’s more the kind of place where you ask for what you need and we get it for you from behind the counter. The space is a bit tight, especially when we get a new delivery and there are boxes on the floor. We open up early in the morning and stay until the evening rush is over. It can get pretty hot in the afternoons, but we have a small fan that keeps things bearable. We don't do any big advertising or have a website. People just know we are here because of the sign outside and the fact that we’ve been part of the street for years. We handle the sales ourselves, counting change and bagging items for the regulars. It’s a simple life running a shop on a busy Delhi road. We just focus on keeping the stock full and the shop open.
