Kamaldeep General Store

Kamaldeep General Store is out in the Bhadolibhulanpur area of Varanasi, specifically near Bhojubeer. It’s more of a village-style shop but we get plenty of customers from the surrounding parts too. We keep things that people in this part of Varanasi use every day. You’ll find milk, bread, cigarettes, matches, and the basic cooking ingredients. The shop is part of the community here. We know who is getting married and whose kids are starting school because they all come in to buy things. It’s a small place, maybe a bit dusty because of the road, but we try to keep the stock fresh. We don't have any fancy displays. The items are just stacked where they fit. If you're looking for a specific brand of biscuit, we might have it, or we might have something similar. People here aren't too picky, they just want something that works and a fair price. We open early in the morning when the sun is just coming up. Usually, the first customers are looking for milk or tea leaves. It’s a steady rhythm to the day. We don't use computers for billing, just a notebook and a calculator. It works for us and our customers don't mind waiting a minute. It’s just how things are done here in our part of Varanasi and we like it that way quite a bit.
