About Food Halls
In theory, a food hall and a food court are not dissimilar. In practice, the food hall shies away from national chains and franchises and allows unique and community-based dining concepts to flourish. They can be a way for the food truck owner to test out a stationary location without having to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into their own brick-and-mortar location. Likewise, the burgeoning restaurateur, to whom the idea of a food truck is unappealing, can also set down roots in the community that they are a part of within the walls of a food hall.
