Morphology
The meaning 'a booth used for selling goods' is directly derivable from combining 'sales' (relating to selling) with 'booth' (a stall or small enclosure). The attributive use of 'sales' to mean 'for selling' is common and mirrors patterns in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer this sense.
Etymology
Sales booth comes from market stalls where a seller stood in a small booth to make sales, like a tiny wooden stall or tent full of goods. That's why sales booth means 'a small, temporary place to display and sell goods'.
