Your Typical Average German Fruit Market

Wiesbaden operates with hundreds of small shops around the city.  Some are fifty feet wide and maybe twenty feet deep.  Small, efficient, and somewhat capable of profit.

This one?  A fruit and vegetable market.

No heating, no cooling, and just a couple of lights.  It's right off the street...so a truck can pull up at 6AM and dump twelve boxes off, and later at noon....drop another couple of boxes off.  One guy can run the operation for most of the day, with a few breaks by his wife or cousin filling in.
