Pahom General Store

Pahom General Store is located on the Main Road in Bemina, right near the J&K Bank. We’ve been here for a while, just providing a place for people in the area to get their groceries and other small household items. It’s a pretty straightforward setup. We have shelves lining the walls filled with things like soap, oil, pulses, and snacks. Srinagar can have some rough weather, but we try to keep the shop open as much as we can so the neighbors can get what they need. It’s a busy road, so there’s always something happening outside the door. Inside, it’s mostly just us organizing the stock or helping someone find a specific brand of tea. We don't have any fancy technology or automated systems; we just write things down and keep track of everything ourselves. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze when a few people come in at once, but we manage. We know most of the families around here since they’ve been coming to us for years. It’s nice to see the same faces every day. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in town, just a reliable one where you can get your daily necessities. We just do our work, keep the place clean, and make sure the shelves are topped up whenever a delivery truck comes by. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living in Srinagar - 190018.
