1969
Bama Wale, Sadar Bazar
Sardar Natha Singh Johar opened a small saraf's counter in Sadar Bazar, Sri Muktsar Sahib, in 1969. People in Muktsar came to know the shop as Bama Wale, and many still call it that today.
More than fifty years later his family still weighs every piece in front of the customer, explains the bill line by line and stands behind what it sells.
