A retail kiosk (also referred to as mall kiosk or Retail Merchandising Unit) is a store operated out of a merchant-supplied kiosk of varying size and shape, which is typically enclosed with the operator located in the center and customers approaching the vendor across a counter.
These units are best exemplified by jewelry-style cases forming a 10' × 10' perimeter footprint. These units are located in shopping malls, airports, sporting events, or larger stores (where they can be referred to as "concessions").
The industry term for the smaller units is RMU (Retail Merchandising Unit). These smaller units were created to avoid lease conflicts with existing stores with "kiosk" language exclusions and local fire codes requiring greater distance between units by placing them on wheels.

Famous quotes containing the word mall:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
