ice cream stand

Scoops sold here

An ice cream stand is a small outdoor vendor or simple structure selling ice cream and frozen treats, typically found at beaches, parks, and boardwalks.

Unlike full ice cream shops, stands are often seasonal, open-air, and limited to walk-up service: We stopped at the ice cream stand near the pier.

The term covers everything from carts to permanent kiosks.
