Bhat Provisional Store

Bhat Provisional Store is based in the Karan Nagar area of Srinagar, specifically at Darish Kadal. We have been operating in this 190010 neighborhood for quite some time now. Our shop is where locals come to get their daily supplies like flour, tea, sugar, and other kitchen basics. Because we are in Srinagar, the winters can be a bit quiet, but we keep the store open so people can get what they need even when it is cold outside. The shop itself is a modest space filled with shelves from floor to ceiling. We try to keep as much variety as possible so our neighbors don't have to go too far to find what they are looking for. It is not a modern supermarket with bright lights and music; it is just a regular provisional store. We spend our time talking to customers and making sure we have enough stock for the week. Sometimes it takes a little while to find a specific item if it’s tucked away at the back, but we always manage. We don’t have a big marketing budget or a website to show off our goods. We just rely on the people who live around Darish Kadal to stop by when they need something. Many of the families here have been coming to us for years. There is always something to do, whether it is cleaning the glass jars or reordering stock from the suppliers.
