How it's used
Refers specifically to small, independent neighborhood stalls or shops that sell fresh fruit, often displayed on slanted racks facing the street. While supermarkets also sell fruit, this term is reserved for these specialized, often family-run businesses. It carries a sense of local, daily convenience rather than a large-scale retail environment.
