Shiv General Stores

Jangpura is a busy area and being right on the Main Mathura Road at 435 means we see a lot of faces every single day. Shiv General Stores is basically what you’d expect from a local shop. We have shelves filled with everything from bars of soap to bags of lentils. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when more than three people are inside at once, but we manage. I’ve lived around here my whole life so I know most of the families who come in for their weekly groceries. The traffic outside never really stops, so there is always a background hum of cars and trucks. We keep the basics like milk and bread right near the front because that’s what most people are rushing in for. The floor is a bit uneven in the back corner but nobody seems to mind much. We don't use any high-tech systems for keeping track of stuff, just a notebook and a pen. It’s how my father did it and it still works fine for us. Sometimes the supply truck is late and we run out of something, but people are usually patient. We just try to keep the place tidy and make sure the items are fresh. It’s a simple life running a store like this. We appreciate the regulars who have been coming to us for years and the new people who just moved into the apartments nearby.
