Appala Kirana & General Store

We are located in Madhavadara, over in Visakhapatnam, right near the Apollo Pharmacy. Appala Kirana & General Store is just a local neighborhood shop where we sell all the daily essentials. Vizag has that salty sea air, and you can sometimes feel it even here in the shop. We keep our shelves stocked with pulses, rice, tamarind, and all the things needed for a proper kitchen. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be clever about how we stack the boxes and jars. We have a regular routine of checking the stock and calling our suppliers when things run low. Most of our customers are locals who live in the apartments and houses nearby. They come in for their morning milk or some coffee powder and stay for a minute to chat. We don't have any air conditioning, just the breeze when it decides to blow and a ceiling fan that stays on all day. The counter is a bit worn out where people lean on it while waiting. It’s not a polished corporate store; it’s just a place with a bit of character and a lot of different smells from the spices we keep. We’ve been in Madhavadara for a while now, and we’ve seen the area grow quite a bit. It’s a good place to be, and we just focus on keeping our regulars happy with what they need for their homes without any fuss.
