Shakti Grocery

This is a small, what appears to be family-​owned, convenience/​grocery store in downtown Harrisburg. I found it using Google Maps during my first hunt for places within walking distance where I could get some groceries. This place had more of a selection than I expected for such a small store. You can get your basic, no-​frills pantry staples like bread, milk, canned goods, pasta, boxed sides (mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, etc), cookies, baking mixes/​frosting, frozen food, and bacon, along with cleaning products like laundry detergent, toilet paper, and bug killing products. And of course, they had your regular convenience store items like soda/​drinks, chips, and the lottery. The lottery seemed to be a big draw-​everyone but me was there to play the lottery. The folks working there chatted with the patrons who you could tell must come in on a regular basis. However, I didn’t get so much as a hello. The woman who rang me up didn’t even tell me my total or how much change I was getting back. I’ll come back mainly because this store is a 2 minute walk from my apartment. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that hopefully I’ll get at least a «hi» next time.
