Siddhivinayak General Store

If you are walking down Old Golden Nest Road in Bhayandar East, you’ll find us at Raj Vaibhav, Phase-6. We are at Shop No-16, not far from Shalom Hospital. It’s a quiet enough area compared to the main station. We’ve got all the usual household items. Soap, oil, biscuits, and things like that. My wife helps me out in the afternoons when the kids are at school. We know the families living in the buildings nearby. It’s a small shop, so we don't carry everything, but we have the basics. The hospital brings some people in who are looking for quick snacks or bottled water. We keep things simple here. There isn't much decoration, just shelves and a counter. Thane can get very humid, so we have a couple of fans going all the time. Sometimes the electricity goes out, and we just use flashlights till it comes back. It’s just part of living here. We don't try to be anything we aren't. It's just a local store for local people. We try to keep the prices fair. If someone is short a few rupees, we usually tell them to pay next time. That’s how things work in a neighborhood like this. We are just here to help the people around us get what they need. It is a humble living but it keeps us happy and busy.
