Haritha General Stores

The shop is located at 538/47 on Palakaluru Road. Gujjannaguntla has changed a lot since we first opened Haritha General Stores, but our corner stays pretty much the same. It’s a general store, so we carry a little bit of everything from soap to snacks. I spend a lot of time organizing the jars on the counter. My kids sometimes hang out here after school, which makes it a bit noisy but it’s homey. We don’t have a fancy website or anything. If someone needs something, they just walk in. The fan in the corner makes a clicking sound that I’ve grown used to over the years. Some days are very slow, especially when it’s hot outside and nobody wants to walk down Palakaluru Road. Other times, it’s a rush and I can barely keep up with the change. We try to keep the prices fair, just what we can manage. I buy most of the stock from the local wholesalers who I’ve known for a decade. It’s a basic way to make a living, and it works for us. We don’t try to be anything we aren't. It’s just a place to get your daily items and maybe a bit of gossip about the neighborhood. The shelves are a bit old, but they hold the weight just fine. We close up around nine usually.
