Shree Bhagwati Kirana And General Stores

Shree Bhagwati Kirana And General Stores sits right on the Aurangabad Highway in the Panchavati area of Nashik. We are quite close to Hotel Mirchi, which most people around here know. Because we are on the highway, we get a mix of local residents and people just passing through town. The shop is full of bags of rice, pulses, and all the kitchen staples. It can get quite noisy with the trucks and cars zooming past outside. I spend a lot of time weighing out grains and packing them for customers. We also keep general items like batteries, shampoos, and some snacks for the travelers. The shelves are packed high because people always want something different. Sometimes I stay open a bit later if there are people still moving on the road. It’s a family-run thing, so you might see my kids helping out with the billing sometimes. We’ve seen the highway change a lot over the years, but our shop stays pretty much the same. We have a regular group of people from the nearby colonies who come every week for their groceries. It’s a simple business. We just try to have everything ready so nobody has to go too far into the city for their daily needs. It’s a bit dusty being so close to the main road, but we keep things as tidy as we can. Our shop is easy to spot if you are driving toward Nashik.
