concession stand

Stadium food counter

A concession stand is a booth or counter selling food, drinks, and snacks at venues like movie theaters, sports stadiums, and fairgrounds.

The name reflects that vendors operate by concession—permission granted by the venue owner to sell on the premises.

We grabbed popcorn and sodas at the concession stand before the movie started.
