Shree Ganapati General Store

If you walk down Kabir Road near Kabir Chaura in Varanasi, you will find Shree Ganapati General Store. We are right in the Sonpura area, which is always crowded and full of life. This part of Uttar Pradesh has a lot of history, but for us, it is just home. The shop is packed with bags and boxes because we try to have whatever the neighbors might ask for. Dealing with distributors on Kabir Road can be a bit of a headache sometimes because of the narrow lanes and the traffic. I usually start my day by cleaning the counter and checking my ledger. There is always someone coming in for a liter of oil or some spices for their dinner. Being near Kabir Chaura means we get people from all over the city passing through. It is a 221001 pin code area, right in the heart of things. I like the morning time the best when it is still a bit cool. Once the sun gets high, the shop gets hot, but the fan keeps things moving. We do not do any big talking or advertising. People know where we are and they know what we sell. It is just a basic general store running in a very old and busy part of Varanasi, and we are happy staying right here.
