Shivam Kirana Stores

Shivam Kirana Stores is our family-run shop in Surat. You can find us at A 8 in the Ishwarnagar Society. It is a quiet residential area and we have been part of this community for a long time. Since we are a kirana store, we keep all the daily essentials that families need. We have different types of rice, dals, and those local snacks that everyone in Gujarat likes to eat. The society is a nice place to have a shop because we know all the neighbors. Many of the people who come here have been our customers since they were very young. The shop is small, so we know exactly where every packet and jar is kept. We don't have any fancy billing systems; we just use a notebook and a pen. It works fine for us and our customers don't mind. Sometimes the electricity goes out during the day, but we just keep the doors open and continue working. We don't have big displays or advertisements. Everything is just stacked on the wooden shelves. We try to help the older people in the society by carrying their groceries to their door if we aren't too busy with other customers. It’s a simple business and we are happy to be here in Ishwarnagar. We don't have any big plans to change things, just keeping the shop running every day.
