Prashanthi Amul Ice Cream

You can find Prashanthi Amul Ice Cream at 145 Nrt Road in Kothapeta. It’s a decent-sized shop right on the main road. I’ve lived in Kothapeta all my life, so opening a business here felt like the right thing to do. The shop isn't anything special to look at from the outside, but we keep the inside cool and the freezers full. Nrt Road is always busy with bikes and cars, so we get a lot of people stopping by on their way home. My sister helps me out on the weekends when the families come in. We have a few tables and chairs, but they are usually full in the evenings. I spend a lot of time on the phone with the distributors making sure they bring the flavors we need. Sometimes they forget the vanilla or the chocolate, and I have to go pick it up myself. It’s a lot of running around. The floor is tiled and easy to clean, which is good because people spill things more than you’d think. I try to keep the music low so people can talk. Most of our customers are folks from the neighborhood who have been coming here since we opened. We don’t really have a big plan, just to keep the shop open every day and make sure the ice cream is cold. It’s a simple way to make a living and I’m used to the routine now.
