Bharath Departmental Stores

Running Bharath Departmental Stores over here in Peenya 2nd Stage involves a lot of lifting boxes. We are located right on Hegganahalli Main Road, near number 7, and it’s a busy spot especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work. The shelves are always getting empty, so someone is always restocking something like rice bags or soap. It gets a bit crowded inside when more than five people come in at once, but that is just how it is with small shops. We have been in this part of Hegganahalli for a good amount of time. You get to know the faces of the neighbors who come in for their daily milk or bread. The floor gets dusty because of the road outside, so we are always sweeping it out. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the front for a bit, which can be a bit of a headache for the traffic. We don't have fancy lights or big signs, just the usual stuff you'd expect in a local store. There’s a small counter where we keep the change and some chocolates for the kids. It’s mostly just us keeping things organized and making sure we have what people ask for. The hours are long, from early morning until late night, but it keeps us busy. We just focus on the daily tasks and talking to the regulars who live around here and stop by for their supplies.
