As in, they redress your state of lacking whatever you went to buy there? It sounds a bit contorted but okay :)

- stevage 1y agoMaybe it arose from originally being kind of fix it stores that would repair stuff, I don't know.
- kl4m 1y agoYes, it "dépannes" nearby, instead of making a trip to the grocery store.
- make3 1y agoIt is from the word "dépanner", not from the word "panne" directly. "Dépanner" evolved from "panne" to mean just in general, helping someone out temporarily. A tool that would dépanne you would be a tool that would do the job poorly but well enough for now. This is how the name is meant to be understood, a small store where you can buy like eggs, beer, milk, bread (it's a convenience store), maybe batteries, but not a full grocery store or pharmacy or tool place.
