Laxmi Kirana & General Store

Located at C Scheme Ramesh Marg F 19, our store is where the locals come for their daily needs. We stock everything from lentils and rice to soaps and biscuits. It's a typical kirana store, so there's stuff piled up almost to the ceiling. We try to keep it organized, but when a big delivery comes in, there are sacks of flour sitting in the aisles for a while. I run the shop with my son, and we know most of our customers by name. They come in for a kilo of sugar and end up talking about their families for twenty minutes. We have those old-fashioned scales for weighing out the loose items, though we use the digital one for the packed stuff. The mornings are usually the busiest when people are getting things for breakfast or packing tiffins. We don't have any fancy signs or bright lights, just the usual boards. Sometimes we run out of a particular brand of tea or oil, and we have to tell people to come back tomorrow. It’s a small space, so it gets quite warm in the summer despite the fan. We keep a cold fridge for milk and curd near the entrance. It's a simple business, and we've been here long enough that people just trust us to have what they need for their kitchen. We try to keep things as honest and straightforward as possible for everyone.
