Resma Kirana & Ganaral Stores

We are located in Sairam Nagar, which is in the Gajuwaka area of Visakhapatnam. Our shop is right across from Simhagiri Hospital, so we get a lot of people who are just passing through. We sell a mix of kirana and general items, things that families need every single day. The humidity here in Vizag can be quite a challenge for keeping the dry goods fresh, so we have to be very careful with our storage. The shop is a bit small, and things are often stacked quite high. You have to be careful not to knock anything over when you walk inside. Most of our regular customers are people from the nearby houses. We know their names and what they usually buy on a Monday morning. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when the hospital across the road gets very busy. We start our day by setting out the milk crates and bread packets. After that, it's just a cycle of weighing, packing, and chatting with neighbors. We don't have any big marketing plans or goals. We just want to keep the shop running smoothly and make sure we have enough stock for everyone. Sometimes we get new products that people ask for, and we try to find space for them on the crowded shelves. It is hard work, especially during the festive seasons, but it keeps us going. We just do things the old-fashioned way and it seems to work well enough.
