Originally from India, Danish (39) and his English-born wife, Shital (40), have run their store in Blackley for 15 years. Formerly Aryans Convenience store, it’s now under the Go Local Extra chain.<\/p>\n

What sets this pair out from the rest is their refusal to increase prices like many stores in the area, keeping the prices of things like hand soap and hand sanitiser at the original price before the global pandemic. Danish says: \u201cI\u2019m just doing my part for the community. Ramping up the price is just selfish.\u201d <\/p>\n

Being key workers, the pair work 14 hours a day, waking up early for deliveries and staying up late restocking the store. <\/p>\n

Danish says opening every day and keeping the store regularly stocked is more challenging due to the pandemic: \u201cOh, definitely! The stock has been a lot harder to get a hold of and it\u2019s been a lot busier. Things like hygiene products are a lot more in demand. But for us, it\u2019s business as usual.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been here for 15 years and we\u2019re going to do what we\u2019ve always done. It’s our job.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With the pandemic, many changes have impacted small businesses. Danish says: \u201cEvery day customers are queuing up because of the two at a time rule. But even before this whole thing, it wasn\u2019t this busy. We\u2019ve had a lot more issues with people stealing as well. It\u2019s just overall been a lot more tiring, very tiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locals has only positive words about the store. Liz Gibbons said: \u201cThey\u2019re always open and have everything you need. You always see him taking stuff out the van every day and he always says ‘hi.’ Very friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zoe Whittham said: \u201cOh, they\u2019re so lovely. I get scared to even leave the house in these times. Hats off for keeping open every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Steph Breen said: \u201cHonestly they\u2019re the backbone of the community right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

We asked the couple how they felt about being ‘the backbone of the community.’ <\/p>\n

Shital said: \u201cIt makes us feel appreciated. It means a lot to us, to feel so appreciated. Especially when we\u2019re putting ourselves at risk staying open and being in contact with people every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danish added: \u201cWe\u2019ve been here for 15 years and we\u2019re going to do what we\u2019ve always done. It’s our job.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is important in times like these to remember those who are working to keep communities going, whether that be the NHS staff, delivery drivers, supermarket staff or local stores. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
