Ratnanil General Store

You can find Ratnanil General Store in the area between Lohegaon and Kharadi, right on the Chandan Nagar Bypass Road. We are situated at Tukaram Maharaj Chowk, very close to the Post Office. It’s a handy location for people living nearby who need to pick up daily essentials. The shop is full of everything from snacks and soap to notebooks and batteries. It’s always a bit of a squeeze getting through the aisles when we have a delivery arriving. I run the place with my wife, and we’ve been here since the Bypass Road was much quieter than it is now. Nowadays, the traffic is constant, and there’s always someone popping in for a quick item. We know most of our regulars by name and what they usually buy. It’s a lot of standing on your feet all day, but we enjoy the talk. Sometimes we run out of things unexpectedly, and I have to go fetch more stock in the afternoon. The shop isn't perfectly organized, but we know where the most popular stuff is kept. We aren't trying to compete with the big supermarkets; we just want to be the local spot where you can grab what you need. It’s a simple life, opening the doors every morning and seeing who stops by. We just try to keep the shelves full and the shop tidy.
