Shreenath General Stores

Being located inside the Chitrkut Dham Society in Mani Nagar makes our shop, Shreenath General Stores, a bit different from the ones on the main market roads. We are mostly serving the people who live right here in Uttmanagr. Ahmedabad can get very hot, so our spot in the society is a bit of a relief from the direct sun. We have been here for a while, and the neighbors are more like friends than customers. They come in for their daily milk and bread every morning without fail. We keep a good variety of spices because everyone here loves to cook. The shelves are packed with everything from laundry soap to hair oil and different kinds of snacks for the children. It is not a huge place, so sometimes things get a bit disorganized when we are busy. We don't have those fancy scanners or anything; we just know where everything is and what it costs. Sometimes we sit on the plastic chairs outside during the quiet afternoon hours when the society is napping. Then it picks up again in the evening when the office crowd returns. We spend a lot of time just chatting about the local news while bagging up groceries. It is a small, honest business where we know which family prefers which brand of tea. We try to keep the staples ready so nobody has to go all the way to the big markets for simple things.
