Street stalls/kiosks have no dine-in areas, and were therefore able to continue operating exactly as they had before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Nevertheless, the strict approach taken to social distancing and home seclusion amongst the Bulgarian population in response to the pandemic meant that the country’s street stalls/kiosks were deprived of a significant proportion of their core customer base for much of the year.
Reasonably priced products and the combo menus of limited-service restaurants and self-service cafeterias provided strong competition to street stalls kiosks in 2021, hampering growth at a time when consumers had limited budgets. In addition, the increased influence of health and wellness trends, driven mainly by younger consumers, is putting street stalls/kiosks under increased competitive pressure from other channels.
Fornetti remains by far the leading player in street stalls/kiosks in Bulgaria. Thanks to the strong value share commanded by the Fornetti brand, the channel is significantly less fragmented than most others within consumer foodservice in Bulgaria.
Over the forecast period street stalls/kiosks is set to continue to grow as it recovers from the knockback seen from the pandemic in 2020. The CAGR in the forecast period will therefore outperform the review period CAGR, which was marred by COVID-19, when the significant periods of shutdown of foodservice and on-the-go consumption reduced consumer demand.
By 2024, chained street stalls/kiosks, led by the Fornetti brand, is set to recover and return to the pre-pandemic level of value sales. Independent street stalls/kiosks is set to see marginally slower growth, but will also reach this goal in the same year.
Over the forecast period, the competitive pressure on street stalls/kiosks from limited-service restaurants and self-service cafeterias is set to intensify. Younger consumers find the menus and product offerings in these other categories much more attractive for their on-the-go consumption needs.

Street Stalls/Kiosks
Small, sometimes mobile, foodservice providers characterised by a limited product offering and by low prices. Includes street stalls, street hawkers and foodservice kiosks where food is prepared in some way and served through a hatch or over a display counter to take away. Also includes kiosks and carts located externally or internally eg in shopping malls etc. As a rule, street stalls/kiosks outlets tend to be smaller than 100% home delivery/takeaway outlets, while menus are more limited, often (though certainly not always) with a greater emphasis on snack items, rather than full meals.
