Raju Rice Traders

Raju Rice Traders is located at 32, Ksrtc Layout in Chikkalasandra. It’s a mostly residential area, so it’s usually quiet around our shop. We have been here for a good number of years now. We stock different kinds of rice in large jute bags. Carrying them in and out is a big part of our daily work. It’s just a few of us here, so we have to do everything ourselves. The walls of the shop have some marks on them from the sacks being moved around. We try to sweep the floor often, but rice husks and dust always seem to find their way back. It’s just the nature of this kind of business. We don't do any advertising or anything like that. People know us because we’ve been at this address for so long. If the phone rings, it’s usually someone asking about the price of a bag or when the next shipment is coming in. We give them the information straight without any fuss. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be careful how we stack things so we don't block the way. In the afternoons, it can get a bit slow, and we just sit near the front and watch the neighborhood. It’s a decent way to spend the day. We just focus on keeping the rice dry and the customers happy with what they buy.
