Of these walls 73a to 73d, an entrance 74 is provided in the wall 73a on the front side.

A plurality of checkout counters 75 are installed in the store 72 in an L-shape, and these checkout counters 75 constitute a counter section 78 . Inside the store 72, a sales floor space 81 and a store clerk's space 82 partitioned by the sales floor space 81 and a counter portion 78 are provided as in-store spaces. In this case, the store clerk's space 82 is a space surrounded by the L-shaped counter portion 78 in plan view, the long side wall portion 73c, and the short side wall portion 73b. In addition, a partition wall 93 is provided in the store clerk space 82 to partition a part of the space 82 , and a shelf 94 is provided along the partition wall 93 .

An outdoor window 85 and an outdoor doorway 86 are provided side by side in the short side wall portion 73b. A vehicle guideway 88 for guiding the vehicle C to the outdoor window 85 is provided on the site 71 . In this case, the vehicle guideway 88 is L-shaped and extends across the two sides of the store 12 , specifically, the wall portions 73 b and 73 c of the outer wall portion 73 .

In the above configuration as well, customers who come to shop in the vehicle C can purchase products through the outdoor window 85, so they can shop without getting out of the vehicle C.

(6) For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the vending machine 91 may be installed at a position laterally adjacent to the outdoor window 41 on the outdoor side of the outer wall portion 13 (long side wall portion 13c). As the vending machine 91, it is conceivable to install a vending machine for beverages, for example. In this case, the customer can purchase the product from the vending machine 91 while riding in the vehicle C. Further, since the vending machine 91 is laterally adjacent to the outdoor window 41, the salesclerk can replenish the vending machine 91 with products from the salesclerk space 22 through the outdoor window 41.例文帳に追加As a result, it is possible to reduce the work load of the store clerk. In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, the long side wall portion 13c is not provided with an outdoor doorway through which the store clerk's space 22 can enter and leave the outside. Therefore, the advantage of being able to replenish the vending machine 91 from the store clerk's space 22 is great.
