Solanki Kirana & General Store

Solanki Kirana & General Store is over at College Road in Durgadas Nagar, specifically at B 14. We are lucky to be so close to the college because it keeps things lively. We sell all the usual kitchen stuff like dal, rice, sugar, and tea. But because of the students, we also keep a lot of snacks, cold drinks, and stationery items like pens and notebooks. The shop is usually pretty full of inventory, so you might have to dodge a few sacks of grain to get to the counter. We’ve been here for many years and have seen many batches of students come and go. It’s a family-run business, so there’s almost always one of us here from early morning until late at night. We don’t have any fancy marketing or signs, just the word of mouth from people who live in Durgadas Nagar. Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic when a large group of students comes in all at once after a lecture, but we manage to get everyone sorted eventually. We do our billing by hand and try to keep everything organized, even if it looks a bit messy to an outsider. It’s a busy life, but we like being a part of the daily routine for the people around here. If you’re walking down College Road and need a bottle of water or some groceries for dinner, you can just stop by.
