Street Vendors

Street Vendors are independent entrepreneurs who set up shop in public places, such as sidewalks and parks, to sell goods and services. These vendors often provide local goods and services to customers while also supporting their local economies. Street vendors are typically characterized by their unique ability to quickly adapt to changing customer needs and preferences, making them an ideal target for innovative design strategies. Additionally, street vendors are often part of the informal economy and thus lack access to traditional business support, such as access to financial services and a stable legal framework.
