New Hameedia General Store

New Hameedia General Store is based in Malkapuram, right here in the middle of Visakhapatnam. We handle all kinds of small goods that a house needs. It’s a general store, so we have a bit of everything, from washing powder to cooking oil and maybe some stationery for the school kids. I took over this place a while back and renamed it, but it’s still the same old spot. The shelves are a bit crowded because I try to squeeze in as much as I can for the neighbors. Sometimes it takes a minute to find exactly what a customer wants, but we usually have it buried somewhere in the back room. The neighborhood is mostly workers and families, so we stay busy in the mornings and right after sunset when everyone comes home. It’s a dusty part of town with all the industry nearby, but we keep the shop as clean as we can. I don’t have a big staff, just me and occasionally a nephew helps out when I need to go to the wholesaler to get more rice or pulses. We don’t do home delivery or anything like that, you just come in and pick what you want from the counter. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living for my family. I like talking to the customers about how their families are doing. It feels like we are part of the street. Nothing fancy, just a plain shop in Malkapuram where you can get your groceries and go home.
