Pritesh General Stores

You can find us at Shop No-13 in the Vraj Bhumi Shopping Complex. It is on Honey Park Road in the Adajan area of Surat. We are close to the Patel Pragati Mandal Wadi. The complex gets quite busy on the weekends when families are out walking around. Our shop is full of all the small things people forget to buy at the big markets. We have snacks, toiletries, and some plastic household items hanging from the ceiling. It makes the shop feel a bit like a cave, but it uses the space well. The floor is tile and we try to mop it every morning, but with so many people coming in, it gets dirty fast. We hear a lot of chatter from the other shops in the complex. Everyone knows everyone here. We spend a lot of time unpacking boxes that the delivery guy drops off in the morning. Sometimes the tape on the boxes is hard to get off and we have to hunt for the scissors. It’s a simple routine. We drink our tea, talk to the neighbors, and wait for customers. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just walk in because they are in the neighborhood. The afternoon sun hits the glass windows and makes the shop very bright. We stay until the last few shoppers go home at night. It is a steady way to spend the day. We have some plastic stools for people to rest.
