Food halls have become prominent in urban areas, transforming old warehouses into vibrant community hubs with local eateries and social spaces. This trend began gaining traction between 2010 and 2017, resulting in a significant increase in new openings, driven by consumer demand for casual dining experiences that cater to younger generations. In response, grocery stores have adapted by integrating cafes and restaurants to enhance the shopping experience. Experts predict this trend will continue, with over 700 food halls projected in the U.S. by 2027, signifying a shift in how people engage with food and community.
Food halls represent a modern evolution of the food court, emphasizing local eateries and community engagement over traditional mass-market offerings.
The explosion of food halls from 2010 to 2017 saw over 200 new establishments, with a forecast of over 700 by 2027, reflecting consumer demand.
