Thanks!

Yes, in Argentina we say "almacén" to refer to a small neighbourhood convenience store, but kids don't usually hang out with their friends outside an "almacén", instead they do it outside a "kiosco", or they just call the place by its name. There's a store in Santa Fe that is exactly what you describe and people call it by its name... Ex. Nos vemos en el Shuk -I'll see you at Shuk... which is something like a big kiosk but not an "almacén". Do you understand what I mean?
