A dépanner and a bodega are basically the same. Wonder what other regional names there are for them.

Milkbar in Australia because they used to sell milkshakes and the convenience store aspect was secondary. Over time the convenience store part took over but the name stuck.

Spätkauf/Späti in eastern Germany. Translates to "late buy", because of the longer opening hours.
