Street Vendors

Street vendors are individuals who sell goods or services directly to the public in public spaces such as sidewalks, markets, or busy streets. They typically operate small-scale businesses, offering items like food, beverages, clothing, accessories, or everyday essentials. These vendors often serve local communities by providing accessible and affordable products, often with minimal overhead costs. Street vending supports local economies and offers convenience to consumers. However, they usually operate informally, without permanent storefronts or extensive regulation, which can sometimes lead to conflicts with city authorities or concerns about safety and urban order.
