Definition

Noun: A person or company that has been granted a formal right, license, or franchise to operate a specific business, often within a particular location (like a stadium, airport, or public park) or to sell a specific product or service. The right is typically granted by a government, landowner, or principal organization.

Usage

The term is used to identify the holder of a commercial concession. It is a formal business term. - The concessionaire is responsible for managing their operation according to the terms of the agreement. - You typically buy food from a concessionaire, not directly from the venue owner.
