Arihant Kirana Store

Arihant Kirana Store is located in Kim Village, specifically at Office No. 47 and 48. We are part of the Olpad Taluka in the Surat District. If you know where Krishna Hardware is, we are just a few steps away from them. It’s a rural kind of setting, so things move a bit slower here than they do in the main city of Surat. We deal in all the basic kirana items that a household needs. The bags of flour and sugar are stacked up against the walls, and the smell of spices is pretty strong when you first walk in. We spend our mornings opening up the shutters and setting out the smaller bins of grains. The offices we use are basic—no fancy furniture or air conditioning, just some fans and wooden counters. We see a lot of the farmers and laborers from around Kim Village who stop by to pick up their weekly supplies. Sometimes we sit outside on plastic chairs when it’s quiet, just chatting with the people passing by. It’s a small operation, just us and maybe a helper if it’s a festival season. We don't have a website or anything like that. If people want to buy something, they just come down to the shop and ask. We try to keep the prices fair and the stock fresh, and that keeps the neighbors coming back to see us for whatever they need.
