Surabaya, E Java (Antara) - The Surabaya City Cooperatives, Micro Small and Medium Businesses Office in East Java, is ready to operate a street vendor center in Ampel area soon. The office has ordered carts to sell a variety of goods through street vendors, chief of the office Hadi Mulyana said here on Wednesday. The center will be able to accommodate 80-100 vendors. "The concept of the street vendor center in Ampel is different from that of the centers in the rest of the city," he said.
