Kumar Stores has been at 163 Sivagangai Road for as long as most people can remember. It’s a local shop where we sell a bit of everything that folks in the neighborhood might need. The shelves are always packed, and sometimes it’s hard to find exactly what you’re looking for without asking. We spend our days behind the counter, chatting with whoever comes in. It’s a busy road, so we get a lot of people just passing through as well. The building is old and the floors are a bit uneven, but it has character. We don't have a computerized system or anything; we still use a basic cash box and write things down by hand. It’s how we've always done it. We aren't trying to compete with the big supermarkets. We just provide a place where you can get your essentials and have a quick talk. Sometimes the delivery trucks arrive late and we have to wait around, but that's just life. We open early and close late, six days a week. It’s a lot of work, but it keeps us connected to the community here. We just take it one day at a time and try to keep the regulars happy. Sometimes the ceiling leaks a little when it rains hard, but we just put a bucket out and carry on with our day.
