The New Harogoury Stores

The New Harogoury Stores has been around for quite a while now in Basirhat. We are located right in Sahi Masjid Gali, which is very close to the Town School. If you live around here, you probably know the area gets quite busy when the school kids are out or when people are heading to the mosque. Our shop is just a simple place where we keep things that people need every day. We don't have those big bright signs or fancy displays you see in the city malls. It is more of a traditional store where you can just walk in and ask for what you need. Sometimes the narrow lane gets blocked by a cart or a cycle, so you have to be patient getting here. My family and I spend most of our day behind the counter, talking to neighbors and sorting out the stock that comes in from the distributors. We have a lot of regular customers who have been coming to us since they were young. It’s not always easy keeping everything organized, and sometimes the shelves look a bit messy, but we try our best to stay on top of things. We aren't trying to do anything fancy or expand into a big chain. We just like being part of the community here in North 24 Parganas. It’s a quiet life, mostly, except for the noise from the Gali during the day. We usually close up late in the evening once the street starts to settle down.
