Aradhana Kirana & General Stores

Aradhana Kirana & General Stores is situated right at the Seethammapeta Junction in Visakhapatnam, right next to the Vinayaka Temple. It is a very busy spot, especially with the Ethamapeta bus stop being so close. We have been here for quite some time, providing the locals with their daily groceries and kitchen needs. Because we are near the temple, we also keep some items that people might need when they go there to pray. The shop is a typical kirana store, filled with bags of grains, pulses, and rows of bottles and jars. It’s often a bit noisy because of the traffic at the junction, but we have gotten used to it over the years. We see a lot of people waiting for their buses who just pop in to grab a quick snack or a drink. Our regulars are the families who live in the streets nearby. We don't have a big team, it's just a couple of us working the counter and stocking the shelves. It’s an honest way to make a living and we like being part of the community. We aren't fancy and we don't have big sales, we just sell things at fair prices every day. If you are passing through the junction or visiting the temple, you’ll see us there. We just keep things running as they always have, day after day. It’s a busy life, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. There is always something to do here.
