Tirupati Provision Store

Tirupati Provision Store sits on Sangavi Gotri Road at S No 73 in Samarth Nagar. It is a typical neighborhood spot where the floor is always a little dusty from people walking in straight from the street. We keep the daily essentials stacked up high on the shelves, from big bags of rice to smaller packets of spices and soap. The space is tight, so you have to be careful not to knock anything over when you are walking behind the counter. We usually open up early in the morning to catch the people heading out for work who need milk or bread. There is a lot of loose change kept in a plastic tray and we spend a lot of time weighing out grains for customers who don't want the pre-packed stuff. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we never seem to find the time to move all the jars and sacks out of the way to do it. On hot afternoons, the shop stays relatively cool because of the shadows from the neighboring buildings. We know most of the people who come in by their first names because they have been living in Samarth Nagar as long as we have been here. It is just about keeping the shelves filled and making sure we don't run out of the basics that everyone needs for their kitchen every day.
