Arpan General Store

Arpan General Store is situated at number 77 in the Bombay Market area of Surat. This is a very busy place, especially since we are right on the Bombay Market to Punagam Road in Umarwada. If you know Surat, you know how much traffic passes through here every single day. Our shop is surrounded by textile businesses and other traders, so there is always something happening outside. We stock a variety of general goods that people in the market or the residents nearby might need. It could be anything from soaps and shampoos to small snacks or basic office supplies. The shop is often crowded with boxes because the deliveries come in frequently. We don't have a large staff, so we do most of the heavy lifting and the cleaning ourselves. The floors are a bit worn out from all the feet walking over them over the years. We don't use any fancy marketing tricks; we just keep the doors open and sell what we have on the shelves. Sometimes the heat in Surat gets quite intense, and we just keep the water pot filled and stay under the fan. It is a simple life of buying and selling. We know the other shopkeepers around here, and we all just try to get through our workday. It is a noisy, dusty, but honest way to make a living in 395010.
