Getanjali General Store

You can find Getanjali General Store over in Sangvi, right at Shop No. 5 in the Samarth Market. We are located at Sai Chowk, which is a pretty busy intersection most of the time. The most recognizable landmark near us is the Shitole Petrol Pump, which is directly in front of the shop. Because of that, we get a lot of people who pull over to get fuel and then realize they need a pack of biscuits or a cold drink. The shop is small and compact, so we have to use every inch of wall space for hanging packets and snacks. It can get a bit dusty with all the traffic passing through the chowk, so we spend a lot of time wiping down the glass jars on the counter. We’ve got a little stool behind the counter where we sit when things are quiet, but that doesn’t happen too often in the evenings. The morning shift is mostly people looking for milk or newspapers, and then it transitions into kids coming by after school. We don’t do anything complicated here, just selling the basic things that everyone in the Sangvi area needs for their houses. It’s a simple life, running a shop in a market like this. We know the other shopkeepers around Sai Chowk well, and we all kind of look out for each other when things get too hectic or when the weather turns bad.
