Sri Lakshmi Stores

We have been operating out of Shivaji Nagar for quite a long time now. The address is Sector 27 D 121, right where the road curves a bit near the corner. It is a simple place, really. We spend most of our mornings unloading crates and checking what needs to go on the shelves. Sri Lakshmi Stores isn't some big supermarket where everything is perfectly lined up. Sometimes we forget to put the price tags on right away or the floor needs a good sweep after the rain. The locals come in for their daily things like milk or matches. You get used to the noise of the neighborhood after a while. The fans hum constantly during the summer because it gets stuffy inside with all the stock piled up. We don't have a big team, just a few of us who know the regulars by their first names. If someone is short a few rupees, we usually just tell them to bring it next time. It’s more relaxed that way. Dealing with distributors can be a headache when the truck shows up late, but that’s just part of the job. We keep the door open most of the day unless the dust from the street gets too bad. It’s just a regular shop doing regular things every day. We don't plan on moving anytime soon because this spot in Shivaji Nagar feels like home to us now.
