fruit cart

Mobile apple vendor

A fruit cart is a wheeled stand from which fresh fruit is sold, typically on city streets or in markets.

The vendor pushes or stations the cart in high-traffic areas: He bought an apple from the fruit cart on the corner.

In older usage, the phrase upset the fruit cart meant to disrupt a situation or spoil someone's plans.
