Vikas General Store

Vikas General Store is situated at 776 Gaughat Gaytri Dharamshala, along the Purana Naini Pull Road. We are in the Mutthi Ganj area of Allahabad. Our shop is directly opposite the Power House in Mutthiganj. It’s a busy corner because of the traffic coming off the old Naini bridge. The 211003 neighborhood is always humming with the sound of trucks and motorcycles. We open up early and the first thing we do is move the display racks outside. The building we are in has that old charm but it also has its quirks, like the occasional leak when it rains really hard. We have a lot of different items packed into a relatively small space. You’ll find sacks of grain and rows of household goods all mixed together. We spend our days measuring out portions or looking for specific items for people. The heat in Allahabad can be quite intense, and the Power House across the street is a constant reminder of the city's infrastructure. We don't have a marketing team or a fancy logo. It’s just Vikas General Store written on a board. We deal with the daily chores of sweeping, counting change, and talking to the regulars who live around Gaughat. It’s a basic life, but it keeps us on our feet. The Purana Naini Pull Road is never truly silent, even at night. We just keep the shop open and handle whatever the day brings.
