concessionaires

Ballpark food hawkers

Concessionaires are people or companies that hold concessions—rights to operate a business within a larger venue or on someone else's property.

The term appears most often for vendors at stadiums, airports, and national parks: The concessionaires at the ballpark were understaffed.

A concessionaire might run food stands, gift shops, or tour services under contract with the venue owner.
