This kiosk opens a new door to the world

Odd Kiosk has revolutionised any convention in the world of kiosks in particular, and in business in general, by being the first in the world to declare itself queer . Since it was launched a couple of years ago, it has become a kuwait phone number list of the L'Eixample neighbourhood, of which its residents are more than proud.

It is not easy to run a kiosk
I know this first-hand because I was a kiosk assistant in my teens. Keeping track of payments from customers coming and going, acting as a neighbourhood psychologist, being asked about anything possible by any passerby, placing orders, making returns... managing a kiosk involves solving many problems in a very short time.
That's why I thought from the start that Odd Kiosk should be the star of one of our Stories , showing how a kiosk can be very different from the 'traditional' one and proving that nothing is written in the world of entrepreneurship.
I got in touch with their creators, Txema and Iván, to find out more about them and they invited me to meet them at a talk they were going to give with Simón, the person who works with them at the kiosk, entitled Opening safe and daytime LGTBIQ+ spaces. The event took place at the Vans store in Barcelona where, in collaboration with the brand, and under the umbrella 'Together as ourselves', they offer illustrations by artists close to Odd Kiosk (such as Alicia Voguel , Dosal or Thomas Grevereu ) to commemorate Pride 2022. The profits will go directly to the association 'Ahora donde', an NGO that helps LGTBI young people who suffer rejection from their families.
