Arun Kumar General Store

Arun Kumar General Store is right here at 587 in the Mutthi Ganj area of Allahabad. If you know the Lahimandi area, you probably know where we are. It’s a busy spot and the streets can get quite narrow and crowded, especially in the evenings when everyone is out doing their shopping. We keep all the basic household stuff. Soap, detergents, biscuits, and those little things you always realize you’re out of at the last minute. The shop has been in this spot for a while and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but we're usually too busy keeping up with the inventory to worry about that. It’s hot here in the summer, so we keep the fan going full blast, though it doesn't always do much. People from the nearby houses stop in for their daily needs and we have a lot of chatty regulars. We don't do anything special, just keep the doors open and the counters stocked. Sometimes the delivery trucks have a hard time getting through the lanes to bring our supplies, so things can get a bit chaotic on those mornings. It’s just the way things go in this part of town. We just try to keep things moving and make sure there’s enough tea and snacks for whoever walks in. It’s a decent life and we like being part of the Mutthi Ganj community.
