Mohan Kirna Stores

Mohan Kirna Stores is also in Manek Chowk, just opposite Jain Vadi. It is a busy spot in Ahmedabad and there are many shops like ours nearby. We have to work hard to make sure people come to us instead of the others. We have all the daily essentials like oil, sugar, and different kinds of flour. The shop is small and the ceiling is high, so we use every inch of space we have for stock. I’ve been here since I was a young man helping my father. The area around Jain Vadi is always full of people, especially during festivals when everyone is out. It gets very crowded and sometimes the heat is a bit much in the afternoons. We just drink some water and keep going. We don't have a website or any of those modern things. If people need something, they just walk in and ask me. I know most of my suppliers well, they have been coming here for decades. We get our stock delivered on small carts because the lanes are too narrow for big trucks to enter. It’s a lot of physical work, moving heavy items around every day. My back hurts sometimes at the end of the day, but that’s just how it is. We are just a regular store for regular people. We don't make a big fuss about anything. As long as the customers are okay, we are okay too.
