The story of "Lakshmi Stores" revolves around the lives of the Mahalingam family and their traditional textiles showroom. Mahalingam is the patriarch of the family and the founder of the store. However, he carries a heavy burden of guilt from a secret in his past that weighs heavily on him.
Mahalakshmi, his daughter-in-law, is the backbone of the family and the store. She selflessly nurtures the family and the staff, but her life takes a turn for the worse when she seeks justice for Bhagyalakshmi, a young woman with a heart of gold. This earns her the wrath of the vengeful Minister Shakunthala Devi, as well as the disownment of her husband Tiger Devaraj.
As Mahalakshmi tries to save Lakshmi Stores and reunite with her family, fate takes a sharp turn when Bhagyalakshmi secretly marries Ravi under unavoidable circumstances. This leads to a series of problems with Shakuntala Devi and her family, putting Mahalakshmi, Ravi, and Bhagyalakshmi in a tough spot.
The story also follows the journey of Ravi and Bhagyalakshmi as they face their challenges with the help of Mahalakshmi and come to terms with their differences to reconcile and live happily. In the end, everything falls into place, and the family reunites, and Lakshmi Stores is saved from the clutches of evil forces.
