Ganpati Kirana & General Store

Being located at B 18 in Transport Nagar means we see a lot of people who are just passing through. Ganpati Kirana & General Store caters to the truck drivers and the local workers who need to grab things quickly. We have a lot of the basics like big tins of tea, sugar, and cigarettes. The area is quite dusty because of all the heavy vehicles moving around, so we have to wipe down the counters pretty often. It is not a fancy place to look at. We have some wooden benches outside where people sometimes sit for a minute while they wait for their orders. We stock those large containers of water and heavy sacks of grain that the local kitchens need. The morning rush starts early here because the drivers want to get on the road before the traffic gets bad. We don't have much wall space left because it is all covered in shelves holding various household items and toiletries. The lighting is just a couple of long tube lights that flicker sometimes. We don't mind. It is a practical shop for a busy industrial area. If someone needs a rope or a torch, we usually have those too, tucked away near the back. We just stay open, keep the shelves as full as we can, and help whoever walks in. It is a lot of work keeping things organized, but we manage.
