Disha General Store

Being right by the Bedwas Bus Stand means we see a lot of different people every single day. Some are just passing through on their way to work, and others live right here in the neighborhood. We started Disha General Store to provide the basic things people need without them having to go too far. It’s a small space, but we try to fit in as much as we can on the shelves. You’ll find everything from snacks to household items tucked away in corners. It can get a bit chaotic when a bus pulls in and everyone wants something at the same time. We just do our best to keep up with the rush. It’s not a polished supermarket or anything like that. The floor is a bit worn, and sometimes we run out of things before the next delivery comes, but that’s just how a small shop works. We like being part of the daily routine for folks in Bedwas. Most of our morning is spent setting out the fresh items and making sure the change is ready. It’s a simple life, honestly. We talk to the regulars about the weather or the bus schedules while we bag their items. It’s more about the community than just selling things. We’ve been here long enough that the bus drivers even know us by name now. It keeps us busy from morning till night.
