A kind of tribute to many kinds, but my no means everything, of shop.
I spent part of my formative years living above my parents’ shop, which was a bit of everything described here, as it sold fruit and vegetables, cigarettes, newspapers, confectionery, stationery and bread, as well as the odd random item like sports shoes – which they sold exactly zero of for 20 years, but still had dedicated shelf space for.
