Time Out Market to Close Boston and Chicago Food Halls on Jan. 23

The company cited inconsistent post-pandemic foot traffic alongside rising operating costs as the reason.

Overview

  • Both locations opened in 2019 and their closures leave New York City and Brooklyn as Time Out’s only U.S. markets.
  • Time Out Market Boston filled 27,000 square feet at 401 Park with 15 eateries, two bars and a patio, creating a significant vacancy at the site.
  • Vendors in Boston were told revenue fell about 20% last year, and an offer to hand operations to landlord Alexandria Real Estate Equities was declined.
  • The Fulton Market hall in Chicago hosted a rotating roster of local vendors and events, with the company confirming the final day of service is Jan. 23.
  • Time Out said its local media sites in Boston and Chicago will continue publishing, while international markets remain open and additional locations are listed as in development.
