Sometimes The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday has a very good reason for disappearing and reappearing at will: it has wheels! A Mobile Kiosk would be any set-up where the owner sells something with the additional benefit that when business dries up he can pick up and move. As well, if they're unlicensed or selling Black Market items, they can scoot if they see City Guards coming. Perhaps a food truck in a van, a Conman with a collapsible table to sell "Bolex" and Zag Heuer" watches, a bazaar merchant with his jewelry and clothing on a cart, or a hoverskift on Alpha Centauri selling fresh alien fish. See Travel Cool for more odd vehicles such as Fruit Carts. |

Moving Violations: One of the traffic school students is a puppeteer, but not a very good one. During one of his shows, the kids pull the pin that unhooks his trailer/stage to his vehicle. Subsequently, it rolls down a hill, with him in it, directly into the path of a funeral procession. | |

The Simpsons: When Marge started a pretzel business and drove around with the pretzels in her station wagon, her rivals had a falafel truck. Various times when they go to "ethnic" neighborhoods, and when they flashed back to Homer & Marge when they lived in an apartment. Oh, and the time Homer went to New York City to get his impounded car he bought a bunch of Klauh Kalesh from a street vendor, with crab juice to wash it down. |

Discworld has C.M.O.T. Dibbler, who uses a handcart when business is going well (when it isn't, he just has a tray round his neck). In Making Money, it's suggested that he might want to invest in an actual storefront, but he replies that in his business it pays to keep mobile and in fact, he's there to apply for a loan to buy a wheelbarrow. In Wyrd Sisters, written before Dibbler was created, the narrator speculated that hot-dog stalls incorporate small, gas-powered time machines, enabling them to appear out of nowhere whenever a crowd forms. Dibbler's counterparts elsewhere on the Disc have similar carts or trays. The Ecksian version, Fair Go Dibbler, calls his tray Dibbler's Cafe de Feet, a parody of the famous Sydney meat-pie van Harry's Cafe de Wheels. The Discworld Almanack list of Ankh-Morpork markets includes the Endless Street Fruit, Vegetable and Ferret Market, which is notable in that it never stops; if you want something, you're going to have to keep up with it while it constantly traverses the outer edge of the city. Apparently, this is to take advantage of unspecified loopholes in trading regulations (presumably the one that concerns renting a pitch) that were written on the assumption no one would attempt this. In the countryside, as on our world until the 20th century, professions that are needed occasionally, but not enough that a village would have a shop for it, ply their way between settlements in wagons. As well as peddlers, tinkers, and so on, however, they include teachers, librarians, and accountants. |
