Nazir General Store

Nazir General Store is located right here in Hazaratbal, Srinagar, specifically in the 190006 area. We are very close to the Masjid, so there is always a lot of activity nearby, especially on Fridays. My family has been running this store for a long time. We mostly sell the regular things that people in Srinagar need for their kitchens and homes. It’s a small shop and it can get a bit cramped when we have a few customers at once. I don’t have any professional training in business, I just learned by doing it every day. We don't have a website or any ads in the newspaper. People know us because we’ve been near the Masjid for so many years. Sometimes the traffic on the road makes it hard for the delivery trucks to reach us, so our stock might be a bit low now and then. That’s just part of life here. I like the morning time when the neighborhood is just waking up and I open the shutters. It’s a lot of work to keep everything organized, and I’m usually quite tired by the end of the day. The shop doesn't look like those new supermarkets in the city, but it serves the people living around here just fine. We just keep things going as best as we can. If you're looking for us, just ask anyone near the mosque. It is a simple place where we enjoy seeing our neighbors every day.
