Radha Stores

Radha Stores is a small spot at 236-1 on Tanjore Main Road in Kattur. We’ve been serving this neighborhood for quite a few years now. The shop is right on the main road, so there’s a constant hum of scooters and buses passing by. It’s a busy area, and we get a lot of foot traffic during the morning hours. Inside, the shelves are packed with all the basic things people need for their homes. We don't have a lot of extra space, so boxes are often stacked up in the corners. It’s not the most organized place, but we know where every single item is kept. Most of our customers are people who live just a few streets away. They stop in for a chat while they pick up their groceries or household items. I usually handle the counter myself, and my son helps out in the evenings after his classes are over. The floor is old tile that we sweep a few times a day to keep the road dust out. We don't use a computer for everything; the old ledger book still works well for us. If we run out of something, we just write it down and get it in the next delivery. It’s a modest business, but it keeps us busy and connected to the Kattur community. We like the rhythm of the day here, even when it gets a bit loud.
