Kiranawalah-s sell all their products on the market price rates. In other words, they don't offer any discounts to their customers. Also, some of the products at the kirana stores could be unavailable due to lack of stock.

Though inflation has resulted in rise in prices of essential household goods, retail stores are attracting their customers by keeping low profit margins, promoting products through their various marketing strategies and by keeping in mind their various needs and taste’s preferences.

Add to that, a all-in-one-store feature and the easy payment facilities, no wonder we love our grocery shopping experience!
