Sri Sainath General Stores

Sri Sainath General Stores is found at 2-8-73 on Trunk Road, right in the Gadiyaram Vari Veedhi area of Bandla Metla. It’s a typical general store where we sell a little bit of everything. You can find things like soap, lentils, notebooks, and whatever else people around here might need in a hurry. The shop is located on a very busy road so there is a constant sound of trucks and buses passing by. Inside, the shelves go all the way up to the ceiling. We have to use a small wooden ladder to reach the items on the top. It’s a bit cramped because we try to fit as much stock as possible into the space. The floor is made of old stone and it stays relatively cool even when it’s hot outside. We have a counter at the front where we spend most of our time. People from the neighborhood stop by all day. Some just want a single pack of biscuits or some matches. We write down credit for some of the regulars in a big notebook we keep under the counter. It’s an old-fashioned way of doing things but it works for us. We don’t have a website or any ads. People just know we are here because we’ve been here for a long time. It’s just us doing our thing every day on Trunk Road.
