Jawahar Stores

Jawahar Stores is right here in Vile Parle East. We sit at the 2nd Cross on Chokkasandra Main Road, number 4. It’s a corner that gets a lot of foot traffic. We’ve been serving this community for a long time. The shelves are always packed tight with all sorts of things people need. From daily groceries to small household items, we try to keep it all in stock. It can get pretty cramped in here when more than three people are shopping at once. We know most of our customers by their first names. We’ve seen their kids grow up and start coming in to buy their own snacks. The shop is a bit old-fashioned, I suppose. We still use a manual ledger for some things and write out receipts by hand. My wife helps me behind the counter most afternoons. We don’t have a fancy website or anything like that. People just know we are here. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the road and the neighbors complain, but we sort it out. That’s just life on Chokkasandra Main Road. We open early in the morning before the sun gets too hot. By the time evening rolls around, it’s quite a social hub. People stop by just to chat for a minute. It’s not a big business, but it’s our life. We’re happy staying right here in Vile Parle and doing what we know.
