Sai Krupa Kirana

Our shop, Sai Krupa Kirana, is situated at Shop No2 on Naigaon Road in the Shinde area. We are right by the Nashik Pune Highway, so we get a lot of travelers passing through along with the local families who live nearby. Being near the highway means it can get quite noisy with the trucks, but you get used to it after a few weeks. We carry the basic essentials like dal, rice, oil, and spices that everyone needs for their kitchen. The shop is a bit small, so we have to stack things high up on the wooden shelves. I usually need a stool to reach the top bags of flour. It’s just a regular kirana store, nothing special or high-end. We don’t have fancy displays or air conditioning. We just focus on having the items people ask for most. Sometimes the stock runs low because the suppliers take their time getting here from the main city, but we try to keep up. I’ve lived in Nashik my whole life, so I know how people here like to shop. They want things done quickly without too much fuss. Most days are long, starting before the sun is fully up and closing late. We see a lot of different people, from farmers to commuters. It’s hard work, but it keeps us busy. The shop is just a practical place to get your groceries and move on with your day. Sometimes the heat gets bad in the afternoon, but we manage. We just keep going.
