Many relationships have developed in his kiosk. Here you don't just shop, you talk and linger for a moment. For over 25 years Dimitrios Tsanakas has also been there for the people of nightlife. He runs one of the few kiosks in Dortmund that are open 24 hours a day. No wonder he experiences a lot. So a couple got to know each other at his kiosk, who is now married and has a baby. But he also hears of deaths and is invited to funerals. Because he is not only seen as a businessman or kiosk owner, but also as a friend.
