Kendrai General Stores

Kendrai General Stores has been sitting here at Deccan Gymkhana Manipal Centre 668 A for a good bit. It’s a busy spot around here, and we try to keep the shelves stocked with whatever people might need when they're passing through. Being in the Manipal Centre means there's always someone walking by, so the door stays open most of the day. We’ve got a little bit of everything squeezed onto the shelves. It’s not always perfectly organized, and sometimes finding a specific item takes a minute if we just got a delivery in. That is just how a local shop works when space is tight. We know a lot of the faces that come in every morning for their usual things. It's nice to have that connection with the neighborhood. Sometimes the stock runs low on popular stuff, and we have to wait for the next truck to arrive. It gets a bit crowded during the lunch hour or right after work. We don't have a big team, just a few of us making sure things are priced and the floor is clean enough. It can be tiring standing behind the counter all day, but seeing the regulars makes it okay. We aren't trying to be a big supermarket or anything like that. Just a simple general store in Deccan Gymkhana where you can grab what you need and go about your day.
