Sales through street stalls/kiosks were decimated in 2020 as fears and restrictions relating to COVID-19 dealt a heavy blow to the channel. Although street stalls/kiosks returned to growth in 2021 the reopening of Norwegian society in June 2021 came too late to support the rescheduling of summer festivals.
Third-party delivery companies proved to be an important resource for some street stalls/kiosks since the outbreak of COVID-19 as they looked to cope with the drop in footfall and the large number of people who had switched to working from home. However, similar to other consumer foodservice channels, many street stalls/kiosks struggled to cope with the sky-rocketing fees charged by these third party delivery companies which ate into their margins and limited their ability to offer reasonably priced, tasty and interesting menu options.
There was a partial return of the workforce to the office from September 2021 which helped to drive sales for street stalls/kiosks towards the end of the year. Nonetheless, many people continued to work from home while those that did return to the workplace often did so only on certain days.
There is some hope that summer 2022 will present opportunities to kickstart the recovery of street stalls/kiosks. Festivals are already planned and although attendance may be reduced due to increased outbound travel the category is still expected to see a return to pre-COVID-19 sales levels.
All of the companies present in street stalls/kiosks in Norway are independent and some remained on shaky ground at the end of 2021 due to an accumulation of debts during the COVID-19 pandemic. 2022 will be decisive to the future of many operators as government support disappears and the cost of energy and ingredients rises.
The forecast period is expected to see most operators of street stalls/kiosks returning to their standard business model with a focus on takeaway and to a lesser extent eat-in services. The high cost of home delivery means this service is likely to have limited scope for development.

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.
