M J Fruits

You can find M J Fruits at Shop No.17, 18 & 19, which is right across from the Lalpur Wholesale Fruit Market on Dhamtari Road. Being in Devpuri means we are right in the middle of all the action when it comes to the fruit trade. Our spot is basically three shop units joined together to give us enough room for all the crates and boxes that come in and out. It is a very busy area, and the ground is usually covered in some kind of straw or bits of cardboard from the packing. M J Fruits starts the day very early, often before the sun is even up, because that is when the trucks start arriving from the wholesale market across the street. There is a lot of shouting and heavy lifting involved in what we do. The air smells like ripe fruit and diesel fumes from the transport vehicles on Dhamtari Road. We don't have a front desk or a waiting area for guests; it is mostly just open space for moving the stock around. The guys who work here have been doing this for years, so they know exactly where everything goes without having to be told. It is a hot and dusty job, especially in the summer months, but it is what we know. We just keep the gates open and handle whatever fruit comes our way each day to keep the business going as it should.
