Shree Samrat Pan Stall

We run the Shree Samrat Pan Stall over in Pimpri, at number 103. It is a small place, really more of a stand than a full shop, but we’ve made it work for ourselves. We have been here in Pimpri for quite some time now, watching the shops around us change while we stay mostly the same. The space is tight, so everything has to be kept in its proper place or we can’t move around. It’s just a one-person job most of the time. I come in, set everything up for the day, and wait for the regulars to show up. It’s a lot of standing, but you get to talk to a lot of people from the neighborhood. Most of our customers are folks who live right here in the 103 area or work in the nearby shops. We don’t have any fancy signs or bright lights. It’s just a plain stall with the basic stuff. Sometimes business is slow, especially when it rains, but we just wait it out. There’s something nice about having a small spot like this. You don’t have to worry about a big staff or complicated bills. It’s just about serving the people who walk by. We’ve been at this same Pimpri location for years, and we don’t plan on moving anywhere else anytime soon. It’s home for us and our little business. We just open up the shutters and get to work every single morning.
