English term or phrase: allotted space at a farmer's market?

I'm looking for the right word for « une parcelle au marché »

The context is : An organization created a new market in Central Africa where the vendors now each have their own space. It's not a booth, it's basically just a lot. I'm sure there's a better word for it.

French sentence: « Désormais, les vendeuses ont chacune leur parcelle au marché couvert. »

Thanks!

"Leaving it to the community"

07:59 Jan 21, 2016

This option is not closing without grading (which is different, and does cause irritation). Nor does it pre-empt the decision; on the contrary. It's a way of letting us (the peer commenters) decide. The asker's preference simply becomes a tie-breaker if two or more answer have the same number of agrees. It will only be selected if no other answer has more agrees.

So it should not deter anyone from posting an answer after the asker's preference has been announced.

Don't fret Magenta!

As I said, you were probably coming back to say more! It wasn't completely clear what you had decided to take as the answer! Now it is!

And the option to close without grading does leave things a little inconclusive - the Proz system canleave you open to being seen as a little inelegant shall we say.

I am sorry if I insulted anyone by chosing the "answer found elsewhere" that was not my intention. I actually agreed with people who helped me earlier and said that I had answered my own question. Unfortunately there is no category for "I answered my own question". I am sorry if I offended anyone. I was simply trying to remove this question altogether. I am not used to using this site and I made a beginner's mistake. Sorry. I will do better next time, I promise. Have a good evening, everyone and thank you for trying to help me today.

I just posted but discovered it was too late...

As ever, when an asker says "answer found elsewhere" I find it so frustrating - we've been trying to help you, but you don't tell us what you found - or maybe you're about to.

Yes, as Phil has pointed out, you could just use 'allotted space' as in your question.
