# Modernized Street Vendor Kiosks The 'MŪV' Retail Cart is Contemporary and Functional By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-12 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-cart References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/01/11/rethinking-the-mobile-retail-experience/) & [radlabinc](http://radlabinc.com/) Brick-and-mortar retailers are pushing street vendors out of spaces more and more, so the 'MŪV' retail cart is intended to be a more stylish unit that everyone can agree upon. Traditional [street vendor carts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbrella-crate-stall) have a reputation for being somewhat makeshift, unorganized and highly chaotic to see on the street. The 'MŪV' -- standing for [Modular Urban Vending](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-space) -- cart aims to change this with a design that can be easily transformed to meet the needs of individual merchants. The 'MŪV' retail cart is the design work of Radlab and helps to offer a means of revitalizing downtown areas to keep them moving towards being friendly and inviting. What's best, the 'MŪV' cart offers [freelance retailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espacio-gdl-store) the ability to sell their wares in a more stylish manner to help increase business. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Urban Vending:** The 'MŪV' retail cart introduces a modular design that can be tailored to individual merchants' needs, disrupting traditional street vendor carts. - **Revitalizing Downtown Areas:** The 'MŪV' cart helps revitalize downtown areas by offering a stylish and inviting retail option, creating a disruptive innovation opportunity for urban development. - **Stylish Street Vending:** The 'MŪV' retail cart allows freelance retailers to sell their products in a more fashionable way, providing a disruptive innovation opportunity for the street vending industry. ### Where This Applies - **Retail Design:** The 'MŪV' cart showcases the trend of modernizing retail design, offering opportunities for disruptive innovation in the industry. - **Urban Development:** The 'MŪV' retail cart contributes to the revitalization of downtown areas, creating disruptive innovation opportunities for urban development businesses. - **Street Vending:** The 'MŪV' cart sets a new standard for street vending aesthetics, providing disruptive innovation opportunities for the street vending industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Retail Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venhub.md) - [Shapeshifting Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system.md) - [Modular Electric Utility Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-utility-vehicle.md) - [3d-Printed Retail Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-3d-printed-suitcase.md) - [Retail Food Preparation Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-eat-2.md) - [Modular Cargo-Ready Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargorida.md) - [Eco-Friendly Cafe Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-coffee-truck.md) - [All-in-One Timber Bar Carts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moba-drinks-trolley.md) - [Smart Shopping Cart Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cust2mate-smart-carts.md)
