Mahalaxmi Kirana & General Store

Mahalaxmi Kirana & General Store is over at Shop No. 12 on Ramesh Marg. We are in the C Scheme area of Jaipur, right near Shoppers Paradise. The address is 302001. It’s a busy part of the city, so there is always something going on outside. I’ve been running this place for a good bit now. Most days I’m just sitting on the stool, waiting for the next person to come in for a pack of biscuits or some soap. Being near Shoppers Paradise brings in different kinds of people, but we mostly see the locals who live in the back lanes of C Scheme. The shop gets a bit hot in the summer because the sun hits the front window directly. I put up a cloth to block it, which helps a little. We have stacks of items everywhere, sometimes reaching all the way to the ceiling. It’s a bit of a squeeze to get around the counter. I try to keep the books updated, but sometimes I fall behind when it’s a busy Saturday. People in Jaipur know Ramesh Marg is a central spot, so we get plenty of foot traffic. It’s not a big supermarket, just a local kirana store where you can get what you need without a fuss. We stay open until late evening most days, depending on how I’m feeling or if the street is still active.
