S. S. S. Provision General Store

S. S. S. Provision General Store is located at Shop No. 148, Dada Shah Makan, on Strahans Road in Purasawalkam. This part of Purasawalkam is always buzzing with activity, and our shop is right in the middle of it. We carry the usual things you’d expect in a provision store, like soaps, grains, and packaged foods. The shop is narrow and goes back a fair way. We have a lot of items hanging from the ceiling on hooks to save floor space, like packets of chips and small toys. It’s a bit of a tight fit when more than two people are inside at the same time. I spend my day on my feet, reaching for things on the high shelves or talking to the delivery guys who bring the milk and bread. The noise from Strahans Road is constant, with horns and people talking right outside the door. We have an old iron shutter that we pull down at night. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are usually too busy to get around to it. Most of the people who come here are locals who live in the Dada Shah Makan area. We don't do any big advertising, people just know we are here at number 148. It’s a simple, practical business. We focus on keeping the shelves full and making sure we have the things people use every day in their kitchens and homes.
