Chandramouli Kirana General Stores

Chandramouli Kirana General Stores is situated near Jaggu Center in Gajuwaka. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always something going on outside our door. We deal mostly in kirana items, which means a lot of pulses, rice, wheat, and oils. We also keep some general items like soaps and shampoos for the local families. The shop has been in our family for two generations. My father started it and now I’m the one looking after things. It’s a bit old-fashioned in here. We still use the manual scales for some things, though we have a digital one now too. The wooden shelves are a bit worn out at the edges but they hold up all the jars and packets just fine. During the festivals, it gets really hectic and we barely have time to sit down. We usually have sacks of rice sitting on the floor because the shelves are full. It makes the walkway narrow. We try to keep everything clean, but with the doors open to the street, some dust always finds its way in. People around Jaggu Center know they can find us here from early morning until late at night. We don't do any big advertising, people just know us from word of mouth. It's just a regular store where you can get what you need for your kitchen without any fuss or complicated shopping. It stays pretty busy most days.
