Shree Ram Kirana Stores

We are located at 2 Dhanlaxmi Chambers on Odhav Road, right across from the CMC Dye Factor in Ahmedabad. Being 380001, it’s a fairly busy part of the city. The shop is called Shree Ram Kirana Stores and we have been running it for quite some time. Every morning starts with opening the shutters and sweeping the front area. The dye factory across the street brings a lot of people our way. Workers stop by for their daily things like soap, cigarettes, or maybe a packet of biscuits. We sell mostly the usual stuff like bags of rice, different kinds of dals, and cooking oil. It isn’t a very big space, so things are stacked all the way to the ceiling. We use a wooden ladder to reach the top shelves. Sometimes the heat in Ahmedabad is really too much, so we keep the fan running all day. We know most of the neighbors and they come in to chat more than to buy things sometimes. We don't have a computer system, everything is written in a ledger book. It’s a simple life. We don't bother with fancy displays. If the sugar is in stock, it’s there on the shelf. If we run out, we tell you to come back tomorrow. It’s just how we do things here. We focus on getting the daily necessities to the local families who live around Odhav Road. It is a lot of work but it is what we know.
