Yogesh Kirana Store

Yogesh Kirana Store is right in the heart of Patanpole at Bheru Gudari. It is an old part of the city, so the streets are very narrow and always full of life and people. We have got big bags of rice, pulses, and various spices stacked up everywhere. It smells like a mix of everything in here, which is something you get used to. We have been serving the families around here for a lot of years. People do not come to us for a fancy shopping experience. They come because they need a kilo of sugar or some oil to cook dinner tonight. We know most of our customers by their first names. We know whose kids like which specific biscuits and which families prefer a certain brand of tea leaves. It is a small space, and sometimes it gets a bit cluttered when a new delivery of stock arrives, but we know where every single item is kept. The old wooden counter has been here since we first opened. It is worn down in the spots where people lean while they wait for their change or their bags to be filled. We do not use any of those fancy barcode scanners. We just do the math in our heads and bag things up for you. Some days are very quiet and we just watch the people go by. Other times, it is a total rush before the big holidays. We just keep the shelves full for the neighborhood.
