Shankar Kirana Store

Shankar Kirana Store is located on East Rupaspu Road in the Gandhipuram area. We are near B V College and right by Jascon Apartment. Because the college is so close, we get a lot of students coming in for quick snacks, pens, or cold drinks. But we also serve the families living in the apartments who need their daily groceries. We carry all the basics like rice, oil, and lentils. The shop is a bit small for the amount of stuff we try to keep inside. Sometimes the aisles are narrow because we have boxes of noodles or soft drinks stacked on the floor. Patna can be a bit chaotic with the traffic on the main road, but once people step inside, it’s just a regular shop. We don't have any air conditioning, so it gets pretty warm in the afternoons. I try to keep the shelves stocked, but sometimes I forget to order enough of the popular stuff when I'm busy. We are just regular people trying to run a small business. We know most of our regular customers and what they like to buy. It’s not a fancy place, and the sign outside is a bit faded from the sun, but we are here every day. If you’re coming from the college side, just look for the apartment building and we are right there on the road. It's a simple life but it keeps us going.
