market stall

Open-air selling spot

A market stall is a booth or stand where goods are sold, typically in an open-air market or covered marketplace.

Vendors display their wares—produce, crafts, clothing, food—on tables or shelves under temporary canopies or awnings: We bought fresh tomatoes from a market stall.

The term evokes traditional commerce rather than permanent retail shops.
