Devi Kirana Stors

Devi Kirana Stors is tucked into the Basaveshwara Area of Devadurga at 76-87. It’s a typical neighborhood shop where we sell a bit of everything that people need for their kitchens. We’ve got sacks of rice sitting near the entrance and jars of sweets on the counter for the kids who come in after school. It’s always a bit crowded in here because we try to fit as much stock as possible on the shelves. You might have to squeeze past a crate of soap to get to the lentils, but that’s just part of the charm. We know most of our customers by name since they live just a few streets away. It’s a noisy, friendly place. We don’t use a computer for billing; we still write everything down in our notebooks and use a small calculator. Sometimes we run out of change, so we have to ask the neighbor shop for some. The street outside is always busy with cycles and people walking by. We open early in the morning before the sun gets too high and stay open until the last customer finishes their evening shopping. It’s a lot of hours on our feet, but we like being in the middle of the community. It’s just a simple shop serving simple needs in Devadurga. We hope to stay here for many more years just doing what we do.
