Srinivasa General Stores

Srinivasa General Stores is easy to find if you know where the Ambedkar Statue is in Nad, Visakhapatnam. Our shop is at 58-17-17. It’s a good landmark to have because everyone knows that statue. The shop stays quite busy because of the location. We have all sorts of general items piled up on the counters and shelves. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but we know where everything is. If someone asks for a specific brand of tea or a certain type of cleaning powder, we can usually put our hands on it pretty fast. The heat in Vizag can be really tough in the summers, so we have a small fan that goes all day long. People come in looking for a cold drink or just a bit of shade for a minute. We deal with all sorts of people, from students to grandmothers. Every day is a bit different, though the work stays the same. We have to unload the crates when they arrive and check the dates on everything. It’s a lot of manual work, and by the time we close up at night, we are usually pretty tired. There’s no fancy office or anything, just a desk where we keep the accounts. We’ve been in this 530009 area for a while and we plan to stay right here by the statue for as long as we can. It’s just a part of who we are now, sitting here and greeting the folks from Nad.
