Dhiraj General Stores

We’re located in the Silver Stone building, specifically shop number 12 on the main road. It’s right there at Urmi Char Rasta in the Akota area of Vadodara. The traffic outside can be pretty loud, especially during rush hour, but it brings a lot of people by our door. We’ve been here for several years now. We sell basic household goods, snacks, and some personal care items. It’s a straightforward shop with white tiles and some metal racks we bought when we first opened. We don't have a big staff, it's mostly just me and a helper. We spend most of our time unpacking crates and making sure the shelves don't look empty. People in Akota are friendly, and we enjoy chatting with the regulars while they pick out their groceries. We try to keep our prices fair because we know everyone is looking to save a little. The store isn't very large, so we have to be smart about what we stock. We try to keep the things people use every day in the most reachable spots. Sometimes we run out of something popular, but we always get more in a few days. It’s just a normal neighborhood store where you can grab what you need without much fuss. We like being part of the daily routine for the people living around Urmi Char Rasta. It keeps us going every day and we plan to stay here.
