It happens also here in Italy: usually they've just a small bar, eventually
based in a metal box akin to those used os offices in building sites, but
some of them have much more than that. In a gas station nearby there was a
boxed bar which sold from stilton cheese to champagne wine, now they've
built a very nice bar-restaurant with a shop section. They're one of my
stilton sources here in town.
In a gas station in southern Puglia I happened to find a pizzeria, LOL
