Ranjit General Stores

Ranjit General Stores is located right on Gandhi Road, near the Pune Station. We are actually just opposite the ST stop, which means we see a lot of travelers passing through every single day. It is a very loud and hectic area, with buses coming and going at all hours. Because of the location, we sell a lot of small items that people need for their journeys, like water bottles, biscuits, and small toiletries. We also serve the people who work around the station. The shop stays open pretty late most nights because there is always someone looking for a last-minute item before they catch their bus. It is a small space, so we have to be very careful about how we stack things so we do not run out of room. We do not have time for much else besides keeping the shop running and helping the customers. There is no corporate office or anything, just us behind the counter. Sometimes it gets stressful when ten people walk in at once, but we just take it one person at a time. The floor gets dirty pretty fast with all the foot traffic from the street, so we are always sweeping. It is hard work, but it keeps us busy. We have been part of the Pune Station area for a long time and we just keep things moving as best as we can for anyone stopping by.
