Sarju Store

Sarju Store is right in Radha Gobinda Bazar. We are along the Eastern Bypass, near Rabindra Sarani in the Bhaktinagar area. Jalpaiguri is a big district and this part of it stays pretty active. We started this place because we saw people needed a spot for their groceries and daily goods. It’s not a big fancy place. Just a regular store where you can get what you need without a fuss. We keep the shelves stocked with whatever is in demand locally. Sometimes the rain in Jalpaiguri makes the bypass a bit messy, but customers still find their way to us. We’re usually here from early morning until late evening. There are a few of us working here. We mostly know everyone who comes in. It feels more like a community spot than just a business. We handle the deliveries ourselves when someone lives close by and can't carry heavy bags. The store gets a bit cramped during the festival seasons. Everyone wants things at the same time then. We try to keep things organized but it’s a lot of work. The bypass brings in some travelers too. They usually just want a quick snack or a bottle of water. We don't have any big signs or advertisements. People just know where Sarju Store is. It’s been that way for years. We like being part of Radha Gobinda Bazar. There is a tea stall nearby where we go sometimes when there are no customers. It’s a good way to hear the local news. We don't use a lot of fancy technology here. We still use a physical book to write down our daily sales. It’s easier that way.
