A.F Confectionary And General Store

A.F Confectionary And General Store is located in the Kareli area of Allahabad. We are right at E-41, sitting directly in front of the Allahabad Bank. It is a good spot for us because people finishing their bank work often come over to grab a quick snack or some items for their house. We have those big plastic jars filled with colorful candies on the counter which the kids always want. Besides that, we keep the usual groceries like lentils, rice, and cooking oil. The shop is on the smaller side, so we use every inch of the walls for shelving. I have this old wooden stick I use to reach the packets of chips that are stored high up near the ceiling. The traffic on the road outside can be quite loud with all the horns honking, but after so many years, I don't notice it much. My brothers sometimes come by to help me when the afternoon rush starts. We don't have any flashy signs or posters. Most people find us because they know we are across from the bank. It is a lot of standing and waiting, but I like hearing the stories the neighbors tell. We know who prefers which brand of biscuits and who always forgets their wallet. It’s a simple life. Sometimes the bread arrives late and people get annoyed, but we just do our best at E-41.
