news stand

Sidewalk magazine seller

A news stand is a small retail outlet selling newspapers, magazines, and often snacks, cigarettes, or lottery tickets.

Typically a kiosk or booth in a public location—train stations, street corners, airports—rather than a full store.

Also spelled as one word: newsstand.

I grabbed a paper from the news stand on my way to work.
