Sri Agarwal Kirana & General Stores

Our shop is located on Basti Main Road in Chintal, right at 6-9-652. It’s a busy spot, and the road outside is always full of people and vehicles. We’ve been here at Sri Agarwal Kirana & General Stores for a long time. The building is a bit older, and the paint is peeling in a few spots, but it serves its purpose. We keep a wide variety of things on the shelves, from big bags of rice to small packets of spices. Chintal is a hardworking area, and our customers are mostly the people who live in the surrounding streets. We open up early and don't usually head home until it’s dark. The air inside the shop often smells like a mix of different spices and soaps. We spend a lot of time cleaning the glass jars and organizing the packets so people can see what we have. Sometimes the supply truck blocks the road for a bit, and we have to rush to get everything inside. It’s a lot of manual labor, carrying heavy items and standing for hours on end. We don't have any fancy mission or anything like that. We just want to make sure the local families have what they need for their homes. It’s a simple business, and we take it one day at a time, talking to the neighbors and keeping the shelves stocked as best as we can given the limited space we have.
