Sri Seetarama Fancy & General Stores

Sri Seetarama Fancy & General Stores is over in Sriharipuram, Visakhapatnam, at 62-6-12. We are a small local shop that sells a mix of things. On one side, we have fancy items like ribbons, clips, and small trinkets, and on the other side, we have general groceries and household stuff. It’s a bit of everything for the people living in this part of Vizag. The air here is often salty because we aren't too far from the coast, so things can get a bit grimy if we don't clean often. We have wooden shelves that we painted a few years ago, though the paint is starting to chip now. It’s a family-run place, so you’ll usually find one of us sitting behind the counter reading a newspaper when it’s quiet. We don't have a big staff or anything like that. In the afternoons, it gets very quiet and we sometimes close for an hour to have lunch. But in the mornings and evenings, it is usually quite busy with people from the neighborhood. We don't have any special offers or big sales; we just sell things at the normal price. Most of our customers are women from the nearby houses who come in to buy matching items for their outfits or a few things for their kitchen. It’s a slow and steady kind of life here in Sriharipuram. We are happy just being the local store that everyone knows and visits.
