Shree Grashasti Department Store

Our store is at Plot No-44 in Vikas Nagar B, just off Ajmer Road in Heerapura. It’s a decent-sized place but we always seem to be running out of shelf space because we keep bringing in more things. We started this store to serve the local people in the neighborhood. It’s not like those big supermarkets you see in the malls. We know most of our customers by their first names and we know what they usually need before they even ask. The store is usually a bit cluttered because we try to stock everything from soap to snacks. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road for a minute, and the neighbors might complain, but we try to get things moved quickly. We don't have any professional cleaners, so we do the sweeping and dusting ourselves every morning before the first customer arrives. It’s a family-run kind of thing, so you might see one of us eating lunch behind the counter if it’s a slow hour. We don’t use any fancy sales tactics. We just put the prices on the items and help people find what they are looking for. It’s a lot of standing on your feet all day, but it’s nice to be part of the community here in Heerapura. We focus on getting through the daily list of chores and making sure the inventory is right. It’s a simple way to spend the day.
