Palki General Store

Palki General Store is situated on the 1st Floor on Maruthi Road in Shahapur. It is a bit unusual for a general store to be on the first floor, but it works for us. We have been here for several years and our customers have gotten used to walking up the stairs to find us. Maruthi Road is one of the main streets in Shahapur, so there is always a lot of activity downstairs. Up here, it is a little bit quieter, which we actually like. We don't have a huge amount of space, so we have to be very careful about how we stack our boxes and goods. Most of our day is spent helping people find specific things they are looking for. We don't have any polished displays or fancy lighting. It is just a plain room with a lot of shelves. Sometimes the stairs get a bit slippery when it rains, so we have to be careful. We handle everything ourselves, from cleaning the windows to checking the inventory. We don't have a website or any social media pages. If people need something, they just come by and ask. It is a simple way of doing things and it keeps us busy enough. We know the other shopkeepers on Maruthi Road and we often chat with them during our breaks. Shahapur is a nice place to work and we are glad to have our little spot on the 1st floor. It is just a normal life for us running this shop.
