Ashirwad Kirana Store

This shop is located at Dukan No 14 in the Salam Board Shopping Center. We are right on the Surat Navsari Road, not too far from the Bank of Baroda. It is a busy area with a lot of different shops around us. We focus mostly on kirana items, so we have all the grains, oils, and spices that local families need for their daily cooking. Being in a shopping center means we see a lot of people who are out doing all their errands at once. We have tried to make the store easy to navigate, but with so much stock, it is always a bit of a puzzle to find space for new things. The road outside is always full of traffic, which brings in people who are just driving through the area. We keep a good supply of the basics so we do not run out when things get busy during the festival seasons. It is a simple life running a kirana store. We spend our days weighing out portions and restocking the front bins. There isn't anything fancy about how we work. We just show up, open the shop, and talk to the people who come in. It is nice being near the bank because everyone knows where that is. We have built up a good relationship with the other shop owners in the center too. It’s a little community of its own right here.
