Sri Lakshmi Kirana & General Stores

You can find Sri Lakshmi Kirana & General Stores on Ravikamatham Road in Chodavaram. We are located at numbers 21-24. It’s a decent-sized space compared to some of the other shops on this stretch. We have been serving the local families here for quite a while. Most mornings start with me sweeping the front and arranging the vegetable crates if we have fresh stock coming in. We carry all the daily essentials like lentils, rice, and cleaning supplies. The lighting inside isn't the brightest, but we know where everything is kept. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes with the boxes piled up in the corners. My son helps me with the heavier bags when he’s not busy with his own things. We see the same faces every day, which is nice. You get to know who likes which brand of soap and who always forgets to bring their own bag. We keep some spare cloth bags behind the counter for that. The road outside can get quite muddy when it rains, so we spend a lot of time cleaning the floors. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know we are here on Ravikamatham Road. It’s a simple business, and we try to stay stocked up on the things people use most. It keeps us on our feet from morning until the evening. We just do our best to stay organized and keep the store running smoothly.
