Sampath Stores

We have been here in Vidyaranyapura for quite some time now. It is just a regular shop where we keep the things people usually need throughout the day. The mornings are usually the busiest because everyone is heading to work or taking their kids to school. I usually open up the shutters early to make sure everything is ready. It gets a bit dusty being on the street, so cleaning the shelves takes up a good chunk of the morning. There is not much to say about why we are here, other than the fact that people know where to find us. We stock different items depending on what people ask for most. Sometimes the stock runs low on things we did not expect to sell so fast, so then I have to go and arrange for more. It is mostly just me or my brother behind the counter. We know many of the neighbors by face, though not always by name. It is a bit noisy with the traffic outside, but you get used to it after a while. If you are walking down this way, you will see the sign. We keep things pretty simple. There is no fancy layout or anything, just rows of items on the wooden racks we had built years ago. It serves the purpose and that is enough for us. We try to keep things organized but sometimes it gets messy when a lot of people come in at once.
