Shanker Pan Bhandar

Shanker Pan Bhandar is located over in Basant Gaon, right at number 81 in the Vasant Vihar area. I’ve been running this place with my brother for a long time. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always someone walking by or a scooter beeping outside. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a counter and some shelves filled with jars. We try to keep things organized, but on busy days, it gets a little messy with wrappers and boxes everywhere. We know most of the kids around here who come in for sweets, and their parents who stop for a pan after dinner. It’s a community thing, really. Sometimes we run out of certain items because the supplier forgot to stop by, and we have to apologize to everyone. That’s just life in a small shop. We don’t have a big sign with lights, just a hand-painted one that’s seen better days. The floor is concrete and we sweep it a few times a day to keep the dust down. It gets hot in the summer because the fan we have is quite old and makes a clicking sound. But we stay open regardless. We aren't looking to expand or move. We like being here at Basant Gaon. It feels like home to us and the people who visit seem to feel the same way too.
