Answer 3

"Kiosk"

Small stall or stand, usually with a roof, usually for selling things... Usually a free-standing addition to a railway platfom, pavement or shopping centre pedestrain space.

Odd word: your question made me look up its origins!

It's originally a Turkish word for pavilion.

In the 1600's in England it meant an open pavilion or summer-house, so it's come down in the world since then!

edit: if it's genuinely KLOSK I'm stuck.

That appears from a google to be just a fairly rare surname, an obscure technology product and possibly a banking term (but that might be a surname as well, I didn't pursue it.)

Answer 4

It is known these days as a small lightweight roofed structure usually on a pavement, railway platform, bus station or foyer of a theatre, that sells newspapers, sweets, ice cream or tobacco products and such. Telephone boxes are commonly referred to as  telephone kiosks.
