Sri Balaji Provision Stores

If you walk down 27th Cross in Jayanagar 6th Block, you’ll find Sri Balaji Provision Stores at number 153. We have been a part of this corner for quite some time now. This isn't one of those big supermarkets with bright lights and music playing. It’s just a standard shop with sacks of grain and shelves full of the basics. Knowing most of the families around here is a nice part of the job, as they’ve been coming to us for years. Some of the kids who used to come in for candy are grown up now and bring their own kids. That makes us feel a bit old, but it’s nice. In the evenings, the shop gets crowded when everyone is coming home from work. We try to keep things organized, but sometimes boxes pile up in the aisles. That is just the way it goes when you’re trying to fit a lot into a small space. We don’t do much advertising or anything like that. People know where we are and they know what we have. A lot of our time is spent weighing things out and bagging them up. The bell on the door rings all day long, and we like the noise. It means business is moving. Keeping the doors open and serving the neighborhood like we always have is the plan. Jayanagar is a good place to be. It’s mostly just us and the groceries.
