Patel Karyana Store

You can find Patel Karyana Store at Shop Number 52 in Jaggi Colony, right here in Patiala. We are situated very close to the Gurudwara Sahib, which is a big part of our daily life. The sounds of the morning prayers often reach us as we are opening up for the day. Being a karyana store means we carry all the small things a household might need, from salt and sugar to light bulbs and detergent. We’ve been in Jaggi Colony for quite some time now, so we know most of the families who live on these streets. It’s a friendly place. People often stop in for a quick chat while they are buying their milk or bread. The shop itself is small and the shelves are made of wood that has seen better days, but it holds everything we need. My wife and I run the place together. We don't have any big corporate goals. We just want to serve our neighbors and earn enough to keep going. We don't use any fancy advertising. We just rely on being here every day when people need us. On festival days, the area near the Gurudwara gets very busy, and we are usually on our feet all day. It’s tiring work, but we like being in the middle of things. It’s a decent life and we’re glad to be a part of this community.
