Sri Ranjana Stores

Sri Ranjana Stores is on the Main Road here in Yercaud. Specifically at number 772. It's a small shop. We sell basic things people need every day. Being on the main road means we see a lot of people passing by. Some are locals we see every morning, and some are just visiting the hills for a holiday. The shop isn't very large, so things are a bit cramped on the shelves. We try to keep things organized but it’s hard when new stock comes in and we have nowhere to put it. I spend a lot of time just moving boxes around and trying to find space. It’s a quiet life up here for the most part. The weather is usually nice, which makes working in the shop better than being down in the heat. We open early because that's when people like to get their shopping done before the day gets going. Sometimes we run out of things and have to wait for the delivery truck to come up the winding roads. That can take a while if the traffic is bad or if the truck is late. We don't have a big team, just a couple of us helping out. We know most of our customers by name. It’s the kind of place where people stop to chat for a minute while they pay for their things. We aren’t trying to be the biggest store around, just a reliable one for the people living nearby on Main Road. It's been this way for years now.
