Sri Venkteshwar Store

We’ve been here at 333 Avenue Road in the Arora Market for a good while now. It’s always busy outside with the traffic and people walking by. Inside Sri Venkteshwar Store, things are a bit quieter most of the time, though the mornings get pretty hectic when the new stock arrives. We try to keep things where they belong on the shelves, but sometimes things get shifted around when people are looking through everything. The shop isn’t huge, so we have to use every bit of space we have, even stacking stuff up near the ceiling. You’ll see me or one of the guys behind the counter most days. We usually have the radio playing some local station just for some background noise. The light isn’t the brightest in the back corners, but we know where every single item is kept anyway. Customers come in looking for all sorts of small things for their homes or projects. Sometimes they just want to chat for a minute before heading back out into the market rush. It gets quite dusty because of all the vehicles on Avenue Road, so there’s a lot of cleaning to do every evening before we pull the shutters down. It’s just a normal day-to-day business here, nothing too fancy or complicated. We just open up, help whoever comes in, and try to make sure we have what people are asking for when they stop by our spot in Arora Market.
