Bhikoba General Store

The shop is located in Dattawadi, right at Survey No 14. If you are walking near Mhatre Pool, you will find us easily. It is a small space, but we pack in as much as we can on the shelves. Bhikoba General Store has been our life for many years. We sell things like oil, pulses, and cleaning supplies. Most of our customers are locals who stop by while walking home. We don't have a big computer system, we just write things down or remember them. It gets a bit dusty because of the road, but we try to keep things tidy. Sometimes we sit outside on a stool when the shop is empty. There is always someone coming in for a single packet of biscuits or a liter of milk. We don't do home delivery or anything like that. You just come in, pick what you want, and pay. It is a simple way of doing things. My father started this and now I look after it. We don't have any big plans to expand or anything. Just keeping the neighborhood supplied with their daily needs is enough work for us. The rain sometimes leaks a little near the door, but we put a bucket there. That is just how it is. The neighbors often stop by just to say hello even if they aren't buying anything. We don't mind the company at all. It makes the day go by faster.
