Hardik Super Store

Having Shop No 1 right here at the junction of Varachha Road and Jetalpur Road means there is never a quiet moment. Hardik Super Store is usually the first place people see when they turn the corner. I spend a lot of time just restocking the shelves because things move fast. Sometimes the delivery guys struggle to find a place to park because the street is so narrow and crowded. It’s a bit of a squeeze inside when more than four or five people are shopping at once. We’ve got snacks, household items, and the usual stuff you’d expect from a neighborhood store. I tried organizing the back room last Tuesday but it’s already a mess again with new crates piling up. The lights are a bit bright and one of them flickers if it rains too hard. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. If someone needs something, they just walk in and ask. Mostly, it’s the same people from the nearby apartments who come in every morning for their daily needs. The counter is a bit scratched up from years of keys and coins being dropped on it. I like the bustle of Varachha Road, even if the horns never seem to stop honking outside. It’s just a basic store doing its thing every day. We open up early and usually stay until the street lights have been on for a few hours. That’s just how it goes at Shop No 1.
