Mataji Provision Store

Mataji Provision Store is tucked away in Yerwada 12. We opened this place because we wanted to work for ourselves. It’s not a huge supermarket, just a regular shop where you can get your pulses, rice, and snacks. Most of the day is spent checking the stock and helping people find what they need. The shelves are high, so I’m often climbing the ladder. My wife helps out in the afternoons when the kids are at school. We know the regulars well, and we know what they usually buy before they even ask. Sometimes the delivery trucks are late, which can be a headache, but we manage to keep things running. The light in the back flickers sometimes, and I keep meaning to fix it. We don't have any fancy posters or ads. People know we are here. It can get a bit loud with the traffic outside, but inside, it’s just us and the goods. We try to keep the prices fair because we know everyone in the area. It’s a lot of standing around and waiting for customers sometimes, but then it gets busy all at once. We’ve been in Yerwada for a long time now. This shop is basically our second home. We just do our best to stay stocked up and keep the place tidy for whoever walks in. Every morning, I sweep the front step to make sure the entrance looks okay for the neighbors.
