Prakash Stores

3-4-178 in Katlatapalli is where you can find us. It has been our spot in Madanapalle for quite some time now. The store isn't anything special to look at, just shelves and boxes, but it does the job. Most of the morning is spent unloading stuff and making sure the milk is cold. People from around here come in for their daily things. We don’t have any fancy systems, just a notebook for some of the regulars. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to use flashlights, which is a bit of a mess. We try to keep things in order but it gets cluttered fast when new stock arrives. The street outside can be quite noisy with all the traffic, but we are used to it by now. It is mostly just me and a helper keeping the place running. We open up early, around six, and stay open until late in the evening. There is always something to sweep or a crate to move. It’s just honest work and it keeps us going. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the shop front. If you are around Katlatapalli, you have probably walked past us a dozen times. We just keep our heads down and serve whoever walks through the door. It’s been a good few years here. We hope to stay here for many more years as long as the neighbors keep coming by.
