Sri Laxmi Narasimha Kirana & General Stores

At 8-3-230/B/11 in Venkatagiri, Yousufguda, you'll find Sri Laxmi Narasimha Kirana & General Stores. We are one of many shops in this part of Hyderabad, but we have our own way of doing things. It is mostly a one-room shop filled with everything from cleaning supplies to spices. The neighborhood is quite dense, so there are always people moving about outside. We try to keep the front of the store clear so customers can stand and tell us what they need. We do a lot of weighing and bagging by hand. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but it works for us and our customers. We don’t really bother with big grand openings or sales events. We just provide what is necessary for a kitchen to run. Sometimes we have a chat about the weather or the local news while we pack up the groceries. It makes the day go by faster. The building itself is nothing special, just a concrete structure that keeps the sun out. We focus more on what is on the shelves than how the place looks. Most of the people who come here live just a few minutes away. We are just happy to be the place they go when they realize they ran out of sugar or salt. It's a steady, quiet kind of life. We just keep the stock ready for whoever walks through the door.
