Vinod Store

Vinod Store has been sitting here in Sector 3 for quite a while now. We’re in D Block, right near City Park, which is a good spot because of all the people who go for walks or take their kids out. Bokaro Steel City is a place where everyone kind of knows where things are, and our little store is just part of the furniture. We carry a bit of everything, not just drinks, though those are what sell the most when the weather is sticky. The shelves are a bit crowded, and sometimes you have to move one thing to find another, but that’s just how we run things. We’re not a supermarket, just a local shop where we keep the essentials. My family helps out, so you’ll usually see one of us sitting behind the counter or restocking the snacks. The floor is old tile and it creaks in certain spots. We get a lot of kids coming in after school for a treat, and we know their names for the most part. It’s a lot of work staying open all day, but it’s what we do. We don't have a website or anything like that. If people need something, they just walk over from the park or their houses nearby. It’s a bit dusty, and the cooler door sticks if you don't pull it hard, but it works for us. We just try to keep things simple for everyone in the block.
