Annpurna Namkeen

Annpurna Namkeen is a small shop located at number 4 in Yusuf Sarai. It’s a tight space, but we manage to fit everything in. We’ve been in this neighborhood for quite some time. Yusuf Sarai is always crowded with people going to the hospital or the market. We sit here and watch the crowd go by. Our shelves are filled with different kinds of snacks. We don't use any fancy packaging or big displays. It’s all very basic. Most of our customers live nearby or work in the local shops. They come in for a small packet and a bit of a chat. We don’t have a big team, just a couple of us handling the counter and the stock. Sometimes the supply comes late, and we have to rearrange everything. That’s just part of the day. The building is old and the floor is a bit uneven, but it works for us. We don’t really do any marketing. People just know where we are at number 4. We keep the lights on and the door open. It gets hot in the summer, but we have a small fan that keeps us going. It’s a simple life running a snack shop. We aren't trying to change the world. We just want to make sure the containers are full and the customers are happy with what they take home. That is how we have always done it.
