Our Story
From a lemon-water cart in Manek Chowk to Girish Cold Drinks on C. G. Road — a family business, generation after generation.
Four chapters of Girish.
-
A lemon-water cart in Manek Chowk
To support his family, Vashrambhai Thakkar began selling lemon water from a handcart in Manek Chowk, Ahmedabad.
-
A shop to call their own
The family had come to Ahmedabad from Saurashtra. The owner of the shop beside the cart gave it to Vashrambhai, even though he had no money to buy it.
-
Named after Girish
Vashrambhai had six sons. The shop took the name of his second son — Girish.
-
A family business today
The family’s third generation now runs the business. On C. G. Road, the crossroads by our shop is known locally as “Girish Cold Drinks char rasta”.
About this page: the story above is summarised from the ‘Heroes of Amdavad’ newspaper feature (in Gujarati) shown at the top of this page, in which the family’s third generation describes how Girish Cold Drinks began.
