Shri Umiya Dairy & Provision Store

Shri Umiya Dairy & Provision Store is located in Katargam Aamchi Colony. It is a local place, mostly known for the fresh milk and dairy items we get in every single morning. The day starts really early for us, way before the sun is up, because the milk delivery comes in and we have to get everything sorted before people wake up for their tea. It can be quite cold in the winter mornings, standing there with the plastic crates. Katargam Aamchi Colony is a quiet neighborhood for the most part, which we like. Beside the dairy stuff, we keep a good amount of regular groceries. We don’t have a big staff, just family members helping out whenever they can. Sometimes the fridge makes a loud humming noise that we’ve just gotten used to over the years. We aren't trying to compete with the big supermarkets in the city. We just want to provide the basics for the families living around here. It is nice when people stop to chat for a minute instead of just rushing out with their bags. We try to keep things organized, but on busy mornings, it can get a little messy with empty crates and bags on the floor. We just do our best to serve whoever walks in the door. It’s a simple routine of stocking, selling, and cleaning. That is how it has been for us for a long time.
