Jayashree Wines

Our shop is located on Nigdi Dr Ambedkar Road 8. It’s been sitting on this corner for quite a while now. We open up in the morning and stay late into the night. It’s a simple setup with shelves from floor to ceiling. We spend a lot of time checking the stock and talking to the delivery guys who come by in their trucks. The neighborhood is busy, so there is always noise from the traffic outside. Most of our customers are locals who live nearby or guys stopping on their way back from work. We know most of them by face, if not by name. It’s not a fancy lounge or anything like that, just a straightforward place to buy what you need. Sometimes the crates get piled up in the corner and it looks a bit messy, but we get around to clearing it eventually. We keep the fridge running all day to make sure everything is cold. The counter is a bit scratched up from all the bottles passing over it over the years. We don't do much advertising. People just know we are here. On holidays, it gets really crowded and we have to move fast. It can be exhausting standing on your feet all day, but that is the business. We just keep the doors open and the lights on.
