Srihari Stores

You can find Srihari Stores at 3-2-158 in Chodavaram, which is over in the Nagayalanka area. It’s a local spot where we’ve been for quite some time now. The building is a simple one, right on the street where everyone passes by. In a place like Chodavaram, news travels fast and everyone knows what’s going on at the shops. We spend our days behind the counter, making sure the shelves are full and talking to the people who stop in. It’s not just about selling things; it’s about being part of the daily life of the town. The humidity can get a bit much sometimes, especially during the monsoon season, and the floor always seems to need a good sweep. We don't have any fancy displays or bright lights. It’s just a regular store with the usual items people need. Sometimes we have to wait a few days for new stock to arrive from the bigger towns, so we just make do with what we have. Most of our customers are our neighbors, so there is a lot of trust involved in how we do things. We open up early and stay open until the sun goes down and things start to quiet down on the street. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living, and we don't really look to make it more complicated than it needs to be. We just keep the doors open and do our best.
