The Last Newsstand in Brussels: Closure Threatened and a Changing Landscape

2023-12-04 16:11:00

The little cabin is part of the decor of Avenue de la Toison d’Or. The newsstand located a stone’s throw from the Louise roundregarding will permanently close its doors at the end of the month, indicates L-Post. Information confirmed to us by the manager Olivier, who ran the shed for 38 years.

The last newsstand in Brussels threatened with closure: “When I ask the question, no one can answer me”

“We reached an agreement.” This puts an end to years of uncertainty. This summer once more, the fate of the little cabin was still up in the air.

“A page turns”

As part of the redevelopment of the axis into “Brussels Champs Elysées”, the axis will, as a reminder, undergo a major renovation. The kiosk and the now closed gas station will be removed. “They don’t want it anymore. The kiosk is regarding to leave. A page is turning,” slips the manager.

The transformation of Avenue de la Toison d’or into “Brussels Champs Élysées”: an appeal is still delaying the mega-project

This kiosk is the last in the Brussels Region. According to Bruzz, there were still around fifty of them at the time of Expo 58. “But they all closed little by little,” salesman Thierry told us with nostalgia, in the summer of 2021.
