Chittoda Kirana Stores

You can find Chittoda Kirana Stores at Plot No. Eg-5 in Vijay Nagar. We are located very close to the Union Bank of India, so people often stop in after they finish their bank errands. The store is a typical kirana shop with shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling. We have to use a small wooden ladder to get to the things on the top rows. It’s mostly just us working here, weighing out pulses and bagging up rice for the families in the area. The floor is made of old stone and it’s worn down in the spots where people stand the most. We don't have any fancy barcode scanners or anything, just a simple scale and a calculator. Vijay Nagar is a lively neighborhood and we hear all the local gossip throughout the day. We keep a lot of things in big jars on the counter so kids can reach for candies. It gets busy in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work and realizes they forgot to buy something for dinner. We don't really do any advertising. People just know we are here because we’ve been at this spot for a long time. It’s a small business and we put in a lot of hours to keep it stocked and clean. We just try to provide what the neighbors need and keep a friendly atmosphere in the shop. That’s about all there is to it.
