M S J Stroes

M S J Stroes is located at No: 11B on 5th Cross Street in Krishnapuram. We are right here in the Thiruninravur area. It’s a quiet residential street, mostly. I started this store because there weren't many places nearby to get the essentials. We carry a bit of everything, from soap to snacks. The shop is small, and sometimes the spelling on our old sign bothers me, but everyone knows who we are. It’s a family-run thing. My wife helps me stock the shelves in the evenings. The neighbors stop by often, not just to buy stuff but to catch up on what’s happening in the street. 5th Cross Street isn't very wide, so when the delivery van comes, it blocks the whole way for a few minutes. We have to be quick. I try to keep the prices fair since I know everyone around here isn't rich. We don’t have air conditioning, just a ceiling fan that squeaks a bit. It gets the job done though. Thiruninravur is a growing place, but our little corner of Krishnapuram feels like a small village still. We’ve got a lot of regulars who have been coming since we opened. It’s a decent way to spend the day, talking to people and making sure they have what they need for their kitchens.
