Concessioner

/kənˈseʃənər/ noun

Definition

A person or company that operates a business under a concession, or someone who grants concessions to others.

Etymology

From concession plus the agent suffix -er, meaning 'one who concessions' or 'one involved in concessions.' This term emerged in commercial and colonial contexts.

Kelly Says

Hot dog vendors at stadiums, ice cream shops in parks, and souvenir stands at national monuments are all concessioners—they rent space from the property owner rather than owning it outright. It's a clever business model that lets multiple businesses operate in one space.
