pushcart vendor

Mobile sidewalk merchant

A pushcart vendor is someone who sells goods from a wheeled cart, typically on city streets.

The term evokes urban commerce—hot dog sellers, fruit stands, or souvenir merchants working sidewalks and public spaces: Pushcart vendors lined the avenue outside the stadium.

The occupation represents a traditional entry point for immigrants and entrepreneurs with limited capital.
