Siddam Rice Store

Siddam Rice Store is located at 72, Arundhi Nagar. We are right in the Telugu Peta area of Nandya. It’s a simple shop with bags of rice stacked up against the walls. We spend most of our time moving those bags around or weighing them for customers. The floor is usually covered in a bit of grain dust by the end of the day. It is just part of the job. We have been in this spot for a good while. Most of the people living nearby know where to find us. We don't do much advertising. People just walk in when they need something for their kitchen. It gets crowded on some mornings when everyone decides to shop at once. We handle it as best as we can. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the narrow street for a bit while we unload. The neighbors are used to it though. Inside the store, it smells like raw rice and jute bags. It’s a familiar smell that we don’t even notice anymore. We keep different kinds of rice in big open containers so people can see what they are getting. Nothing is hidden away. We just try to keep things honest and straightforward. Some days are slow and we just sit by the door and watch the street. Other days we don't even have time to eat lunch. That is how a small business works here. We are glad to be part of this community. We keep the shop open as long as there are people needing food.
