Rahmath Stores

We are located at No:2 in Kumaran Nagar. It’s a simple spot for Rahmath Stores. We’ve been here in this neighborhood for a long time. People around here know us by name, and we know most of them too. The shop isn't very large, so we have to be careful about how we stack things. We spend the day behind the counter, mostly. The street outside is usually full of kids playing or people walking to the main road. We keep the doors open from early morning until late evening. Sometimes it gets a bit hot in the afternoon, but the ceiling fan helps. We don't have anything fancy like air conditioning. We just sell what people need and keep our books tidy. There is a small bench outside where the older men sometimes sit and chat. We get our deliveries in the morning, which makes the entrance a bit crowded for an hour or so. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting bags and moving boxes. We use a lot of brown paper for wrapping. It’s a quiet life, really. We just try to stay stocked up and keep the place clean enough. The floor is old stone and it’s seen a lot of feet over the years. We’re just part of the local street and we like the people who come by every day to buy their supplies.
