Shri Dattakrupa General Stores

This shop is located right at Om Nagar, Shop No 1 on Samangaon Road. If you know the Nashik Road area, you probably know how it gets around here. I’ve been running Shri Dattakrupa General Stores for some time now and it’s become my second home. I open the shutters pretty early because the people catching the bus or walking to work often need something last minute. I carry all the regular grocery items, mostly the things people use in their kitchens like spices, grains, and salt. I also keep some stationery and small toys for the kids who live in the Om Nagar buildings nearby. Nashik weather is usually okay, but when it rains, I have to move all the stuff away from the front so it doesn't get wet. The shop is small, so I have to be careful about how I stack the boxes. I don't really have any staff, it’s just me and sometimes a family member helping out during the busy hours in the afternoon. People stop by to talk about what’s happening in the city while I weigh out their sugar or lentils. It is a quiet kind of life, just serving the people on Samangaon Road and making sure I have what they need. I try to keep the prices fair and the stock updated whenever the wholesale guy comes around with his truck. It's just a regular neighborhood shop.
