Vijaya Stores

This is Vijaya Stores. We are located right on the Main Road in Ekambarakuppam. It’s a busy spot, especially on market days. Our address is 5-7-96, which is easy to find once you are in Nagari. We sell all sorts of things that people need for their daily lives. Most of the time, I’m behind the counter while my son handles the back area. It’s a family thing. We’ve been in this building for many years. The paint is peeling a bit in the corners, but the shelves are always full. People come in for small things like soap or big bags of rice. We know most of the customers by name because they live just down the road. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fans running full blast. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just use flashlights. It doesn't stop us. We open up early in the morning before the sun is too high. Dealing with suppliers can be a headache, especially when the trucks get stuck. But we make sure there’s enough for everyone. We don't have a big sign, just the name above the door. It’s a simple life running a store like this. We don’t try to be anything we aren’t. We just provide what’s needed for the town. If you walk down Main Road, you’ll see us there. It’s been our life for a long time and we like it.
