About The North East Store in Lumshyiap, Shillong

The North East Store was born of a simple fact: People love where they are from. And miss it when they are away.
We are a group of people from the North East of India who, through the course of our lives, have lived outside of the North East and missed Home and all its comforts. We found many others in the same predicament. For too long we made do with bringing back foodstuffs and other unique items back from our too few and far between holidays. Unfortunately, as much as we could carry, it was never enough. And when airlines rationed our check in luggage weight to 15kgs that was the last straw!
So we thought... Hey, if you can't go Home, how about getting Home to you? Our store is an attempt to make you feel better by doing exactly that, bringing Home to you.
The North East Store carries a selection of food items unique to the North East as well as Handloom and Handicrafts of the states of the region. We strive to showcase as many hard to come by products for people not native to the region to discover, learn about and enjoy.
We at The North East Store source our products from local farmers & producers and NGOs, Government groups & Self Help Groups supporting local farmers, weavers and producers. All products are locally sourced, helping not only users find these products outside of the North East but also to expand the local nature of these products and get them out to a wider market not bound by physical markets.
