I didn’t know these as Choggie shops, but I did notice their presence on the few occasions we Wessex chaps spent time in some of the more up-country army outposts in the Province. All of them seemed to have a South Asian shop keeper, often using the space beneath his counter as a bedroom, and thus available 24/7.
Once at a dinner or reception with the senior Army bod in NI, Gen Sir Harry Tuzo, we chatted about the presence of the Choggies. He said that he was glad of their services to his troops, even although his family had been instrumental in starting the NAAFI.
I know it wasn’t MADE by NAAFI, but I still have a fridge in full working order which I bought from the NAAFI in Sungai Patani in Northern Malaysia in 1968. It's my beer cooler.
