Very cool, thanks for the background! I have always wondered about that unit (clearly it used to be commercial). It's too bad that we don't have enough of those markets within the neighbourhoods now, and they're mostly just on the high streets.
Thankfully the City has made it easier to open up neighbourhood corner stores again, and I hope to see them take off (although I expect they will be more niche products/cafes a la the one's that still exist):
