Priyanka Store

Priyanka Store is located at number 85 on the Velachery Main Road in Medavakkam. It’s a busy stretch of road, so we get a lot of people walking in while they wait for the bus or walk home. We sell common items that families need every day. The shelves are packed with containers, soaps, and snacks. I try to keep the most popular items near the front so people can grab them quickly. The floor is made of old tiles that have seen better days and have a few stains. It's a family-run place, so you might see my kids helping out after school or my wife handling the billing. We don't have an air conditioner, just a few ceiling fans that spin all day long. Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic when three or four people are asking for things at once. We don't use those barcode scanners; I just know the prices by heart for most things we sell. It’s faster that way when the line gets long. We’ve been here in Medavakkam for a good few years now. The neighborhood has grown a lot with new apartments coming up nearby. We’ve seen many shops come and go, but we’ve managed to stay put in this spot. It’s not a fancy supermarket, just a local store where you can get what you need without any fuss. We close up around nine every night and start again early.
