Siddhakala Kirana & General Store

Our shop is located in Deolali Gaon, specifically in Tulsa Appt on Sambhaji Road. We have two shop units, number one and two, which gives us a bit more room to store things compared to the smaller stalls nearby. Being close to the Gandhi Statue means there are always people walking around or catching a bus nearby. We sell all kinds of kirana items, the basic stuff everyone needs for their home like pulses, oils, and cleaning supplies. It’s mostly just a local place where the neighbors stop by to grab a few things they forgot during their big weekly shop. The mornings are usually the busiest time for us when everyone is rushing to get breakfast ready. I usually spend my time talking to the regulars or making sure the bags of rice are stacked properly in the back. Sometimes the light inside isn't the brightest, but we know where everything is kept. It’s been here for some years and the building, Tulsa Appt, is easy for people to find. We keep some general items too, like batteries or small toys, just in case someone asks. It isn't a big supermarket, just a regular store where you can get what you need and have a quick chat. The traffic on Sambhaji Road can be quite something during the peak hours, but inside the shop, it stays fairly steady with the usual flow of locals coming in and out. I open up around seven every day.
