Explaining a German Kiosk

 Typically, in residential apartment-type neighborhoods.....you have a six-sided structure.....with an opening for a window and a doorway on the rear.  Here....beer, smokes, and various snacks are sold.

If you had done an audit in the 1970s.....there x-number of them, and I would suggest that today (2021)....it's probably half the number in existence. 

Typically, it's where guys would hang out, or older teens....to sip a beer and share gossip.

Profitable operation?  I would suggest most of the closures over the past twenty years go to the problem that it's marginally profitable now.  As the owner, you end up working sixteen hours a day, and it demands a lot of your free time.
