Along with the lower class, the middle class is also flocking to these sidewalk shops. Most of the buyers of these footpath and make-up shops are lower and lower middle class and working class people. However, the middle class is also rushing to these footpath shops due to financial constraints for their Eid shopping. That is why our buyers are not only for the lower class, but many middle class people also come to buy clothes,” he said. “Low-income and lower middle-class people are buying Eid items at affordable prices within their reach from sidewalk hawkers in the city,” he added.
