What is a small tent kind of shop on the side of the road called?
It can sell stuff like newspapers, snacks, coffee, and other small things. The only two things that come to mind are "a hot dog stand" and "street vendor" (though the latter is the person). So, I was wondering what other words for it may be?
In my language it's called a kiosk or simply a van, whether it's immovable or on the wheels, but from what I've googled, the pictures say it's not the same thing in English.

If someone is selling things by the side of the road (esp. in a rural area), we call it a roadside stand (e.g. produce stand). A kiosk is what we call a stand in the mall that, for example, sells sunglasses. Food tents at events (e.g. the state fair) are called concessions, and if I were a vendor, I would call my cart a vendor cart or vending cart (as seen in answers below). Locale: US, SE Region.

pushcart
A type of cart with wheels that you manually push.
Dictionary.com says the term is primarily used in the US and in Canada
mainly US and Canadian a handcart, typically having two wheels and a canvas roof, used esp by street vendors. Also called: barrow
Wikipedia suggests that it is typically known as a food cart
A food cart is a mobile kitchen set up on the street to prepare and sell street food to passers-by. Food carts are often found in cities worldwide selling food of every kind.
Food carts come in two basic styles.
One allows the vendor to sit or stand inside and serve food through a window.
In the other, the vendor stands next to the cart, while all the room in the cart is used for storage and to house the cooking machinery, usually a grilling surface.
- Some food carts are towed by another vehicle, while some are pushed by a human or animal.
It can also be simply called a food stall with wheels, or a vendor cart
A hot dog cart
If the food cart is part of a vehicle, it is called a foodtruck

The phrase market cart brings up some similar images in eBay. I think I’ve also seen this kind of stand called a "barrow", too. Collins list the following for "barrow":
chiefly Brit a handcart, typically having two wheels and a canvas roof, used esp by street vendors
Which neatly describes your images in a British fashion and gives "handcart" as an alternative.

The OP is asking for North American English, not British. 'market cart' would not be used in NA.
– Mitch
Jan 28 at 13:23
@Mitch ngrams suggests it's uncommon in NA but it has been used in the past. However eBay.com only has a couple of relevant images (and they're both from the UK).

I suspect that market cart in North America never changed from the original British meaning of market cart: a cart used for transporting goods to the market, as well as for selling them out of. See the English artist's Thomas Gainsborough's 1786 painting.

A Market Stall (or simply a stall) might be what you're looking for. This would be used to describe a tent-like structure, not something on wheels. Though the word Kiosk is also used (certainly in British English).

To me, as a Brit, a kiosk is usually a small but reasonably permanent structure. Certainly not a tent or anything on wheels.

I'd probably agree! But it is useful to note that the word exists.

Australia is similar to Britain here as often the case. The general term is a stall or market stall, and we would not use the word "cart". Note that the image in the original question may be described as a "food truck" - this is a food stall in a van or caravan style trailer where the servers stand inside and serve you through a window.

In the UK "market stalls" are not isolated and moveable. They may be temporary but the "market" is held in a fixed location at regular intervals (e.g. the same day each week) and consists of several stalls, like this one: visitpeakdistrict.com/explore/towns-and-villages/…

I guess you could call it a vending cart or a street vending cart (you could even call it a mobile vending kiosk if you wanted). That is, it's a cart that's used for vending or selling things. If you go and do a quick search on Google, you will see that you're going to get a lot of hits with these phrases. So, these terms are very simple and actually used in the real world.

In the UK this might be known as a 'stand' or a 'van'.
A 'stand' as in a hotdog stand, although this would be applicable if the server was stood at ground level and the unit could be moved by hand.
A 'van' as in an ice-cream van, although this would not be an official definition found in the dictionary it is in common use.

The phrase market cart brings up some similar images in eBay. I think I’ve also seen this kind of stand called a "barrow", too. Collins list the following for "barrow":
chiefly Brit a handcart, typically having two wheels and a canvas roof, used esp by street vendors
Which neatly describes your images in a British fashion and gives "handcart" as an alternative.

The OP is asking for North American English, not British. 'market cart' would not be used in NA.

@Mitch ngrams suggests it's uncommon in NA but it has been used in the past. However eBay.com only has a couple of relevant images (and they're both from the UK).

I suspect that market cart in North America never changed from the original British meaning of market cart: a cart used for transporting goods to the market, as well as for selling them out of. See the English artist's Thomas Gainsborough's 1786 painting.

A Market Stall (or simply a stall) might be what you're looking for. This would be used to describe a tent-like structure, not something on wheels. Though the word Kiosk is also used (certainly in British English).

To me, as a Brit, a kiosk is usually a small but reasonably permanent structure. Certainly not a tent or anything on wheels.

Australia is similar to Britain here as often the case. The general term is a stall or market stall, and we would not use the word "cart". Note that the image in the original question may be described as a "food truck" - this is a food stall in a van or caravan style trailer where the servers stand inside and serve you through a window.

In the UK "market stalls" are not isolated and moveable. They may be temporary but the "market" is held in a fixed location at regular intervals (e.g. the same day each week) and consists of several stalls, like this one: visitpeakdistrict.com/explore/towns-and-villages/…

I guess you could call it a vending cart or a street vending cart (you could even call it a mobile vending kiosk if you wanted). That is, it's a cart that's used for vending or selling things. If you go and do a quick search on Google, you will see that you're going to get a lot of hits with these phrases. So, these terms are very simple and actually used in the real world.

In the UK this might be known as a 'stand' or a 'van'.
A 'stand' as in a hotdog stand, although this would be applicable if the server was stood at ground level and the unit could be moved by hand.
A 'van' as in an ice-cream van, although this would not be an official definition found in the dictionary it is in common use.

You deleted a number of photos but left the last one. Were those not what you were looking for? Because your accepted answer is closer to the pictures you deleted, and not good for the picture you kept.

In that case I suggest that you un-delete one of the other photos and remove the current one. The photo you have in your question now is a trailer and probably not designed to be pushed/pulled by hand.

If someone is selling things by the side of the road (esp. in a rural area), we call it a roadside stand (e.g. produce stand). A kiosk is what we call a stand in the mall that, for example, sells sunglasses. Food tents at events (e.g. the state fair) are called concessions, and if I were a vendor, I would call my cart a vendor cart or vending cart (as seen in answers below). Locale: US, SE Region.
