Ajay General Store

Ajay General Store is located inside the Sarja Complex on Phulwari Sharif Road in the Anisabad area of Patna. We are quite close to the Bank of India branch, so we get a lot of people coming in after they finish their bank work. The complex can be a bit confusing if you aren't used to it, but we are right there near the main flow of people. We stock a lot of daily essentials, from notebooks for the school kids to pulses and cooking oil for the kitchens around here. Patna heat can be tough, so the shop is a nice place to step out of the sun for a bit. We don't have any fancy displays. It’s mostly just shelves packed with whatever people ask for most. Sometimes we run out of something because the supply truck got stuck in Patna traffic, which happens more often than we’d like. We just write it down and try to get it the next day. It’s a practical kind of place. We spend our time checking expiry dates and making sure the bags are tied properly. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. People in Anisabad know they can find the basic stuff here without having to go too far. We keep a small stool for the older folks who need to sit down while we pack their heavy bags.
