S.P. Jailaxmi Kirana & General Store

S.P. Jailaxmi Kirana & General Store is situated near the Padmabati Temple in Kancharapalem. We are right on the Main Road in Visakhapatnam. The temple brings a lot of people to this area, which is good for us. We sell all sorts of things, from basic spices and grains to household items like buckets and brooms. It’s a traditional kirana store. We measure out things by weight if that’s what you want. The shop is often full of bags and boxes because we try to keep a lot of stock. My father started this business, and I’ve been working here since I was young. I know where every single item is, even if it looks a bit messy to someone else. We don’t have a computer for billing; we just use a pen and paper or a small calculator. It works fine for us. Sometimes the cows from the street come near the door, and we have to shoo them away. That’s just life on the Main Road. We have many regular customers who have been coming to us for years. They know we give them a fair price. We don't do home delivery usually, but if someone lives very close and can't walk, we might help out. Visakhapatnam is a busy place, but Kancharapalem feels like home. We’re just here to provide what the neighborhood needs every day. Our doors stay open for anyone who needs a quick stop for groceries.
