Indore Namkeen Bhandar

We set up Indore Namkeen Bhandar in Panchwati 6 quite some time ago. It’s a small shop packed with bags of snacks. The shelves are always a bit crowded and sometimes things fall off if you aren't careful. My father started this and now I spend most of my time here behind the counter. We don't do any big advertising or anything fancy. People just find us by walking past. The floor is a bit uneven near the entrance, so you have to watch your step. We make most of the snacks in the back room. It gets really hot back there in the summer months. Sometimes the spice smell gets so strong it makes us sneeze all day. We sell mostly local favorites that people grew up eating. Every morning we check the stock and refill the bins. It’s a routine that hasn't changed in years. Panchwati 6 is a quiet enough spot, but we get our share of traffic in the evenings. Some people come from the other side of town just for one specific mix we make. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for customers to come in. Sometimes the phone rings and it’s just someone asking for directions to the main road. It gets a bit dusty with the road being so close to us. We try to keep up with the cleaning. It’s just us two working here most days.
