fruit stand

Outdoor apple vendor

A fruit stand is a small outdoor stall or booth selling fresh produce, typically operated by a single vendor at a roadside, market, or street corner.

The term emphasizes modest scale and informality—a permanent grocery store wouldn't be called a fruit stand even if it sells fruit.

We stopped at a fruit stand for peaches on the way home.
