roadside stall

Shoulder-side merchant booth

A roadside stall is a small temporary or semi-permanent structure set up along a road to sell goods—typically produce, crafts, or snacks.

Unlike permanent shops, roadside stalls are often informal operations: We stopped at a roadside stall for fresh peaches.

Common in rural areas and developing countries, they range from simple tables under tarps to elaborate wooden stands.
