Athwa General Stores

Athwa General Stores is situated in the Daruwala Building on Athwa Lane. This is in the Athwalines area of Surat, right across from Vanitavishram School. It’s a well-known spot in the 395001 zip code. We have been here for years, and the building itself has a lot of history. Being opposite a school means we see a lot of students and parents throughout the day. Our shop is filled with all sorts of things, from stationery to snacks and household necessities. It’s one of those places where the shelves are packed high because we try to fit in as much as possible. It’s not the most organized looking place sometimes, but we know where everything is. Running a store in Surat means dealing with the heat and the crowds, but we like being in the thick of it. We aren't a big chain; it's just a local business serving the people around Athwa Lane. We don't put on any acts or use big words. We just sell what people want to buy. Sometimes we run out of certain things when the supply trucks are delayed, but that’s just part of the trade. People come in for a chat as much as they do for shopping. It’s a friendly atmosphere, even when we are busy. We’ve been at this address for a long time and expect to stay as long as the building stands.
