Shiva Sai General Stores

We have been running Shiva Sai General Stores on Badhrachalam Road for quite a long time now. It’s a simple shop in Vijayawada, right in the 520001 area. We mostly sell things people need for their homes every day. You can find rice, dal, different oils, and soaps on our shelves. We also keep some snacks for the kids who come by after school. The shop isn't very large, and it can get a bit crowded in the mornings when everyone is rushing to get their supplies. We start early and stay open until the evening. Sometimes the stock takes a few days to arrive from the distributors, so we might run out of certain things, but we always try to get them back soon. Being here in Vijayawada, we know many of the people who live nearby. It’s a nice neighborhood to be a part of. We aren't trying to be a big fancy supermarket with air conditioning. It’s just a regular store with a ceiling fan and wooden counters. My family helps me out with the heavy lifting and the accounts. We don't use any fancy computers, just a simple ledger to keep track of things. If you are walking along Badhrachalam Road, you will see our shop there. It’s a quiet place in the afternoons, which gives us a chance to tidy up the racks. We just do our work and go home.
