Vikash Food Store

Vikash Food Store is located right in Hira Market near the Hirapur Hatia area of Dhanbad. This part of town is always buzzing with people buying vegetables and other groceries. We have been in this location for a long time. The shop itself is a bit small and the shelves are quite old now but they hold the stock just fine. We sell a lot of different food items that people use in their daily cooking. I spend most of my day weighing out bags and chatting with the neighbors. It is a very busy street so there is always dust coming in from the road. I try to keep the counters clean but it is a losing battle sometimes. My family helps me out when the rush gets too much in the evenings. We don't have any fancy signs or advertisements. People know us because we have been here for years. Hirapur Hatia is a landmark and being near it helps people find us easily. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to work by candlelight for a bit. It’s just part of life here in Dhanbad. We don't try to be anything we are not. It's just a regular food store where you can find your basic kitchen needs. I enjoy the routine of it all even if it gets a bit tiring by the end of the week.
