Usually they’re sponsored by Lebara Mobile or similar and they sell an assortment of brooms, plastic boxes, children’s toys, tools, scented candles, plastic plates, inflatable footballs etc. Everybody I know has a different name for them (“box shops”, “everything shops” etc.) but obviously they aren’t very Googleable. Just moved to a new area and need to find my local everything shop for bits and bobs

Go to Google Maps and search for ‘Discount’ or ‘Bargain’, that might bring up a couple of stores.

General store is the first thing that comes to mind
My fiance left me in a KFC, purposely drove us there because she knew I didn’t really like it and didnt want to taint a good restaraunt chain with a negative memory. She wanted to do it in public so I wouldn’t get too upset but the restaraunt was empty. We were drifting apart, nothing bad really happened but I miss her now. She’s engaged to a man who owns an organic dog food shop which seems to be a money laundering front as far as I can tell. Whatevs, she’s happy I suppose.
