Time Out Market Chicago will close later this month after a drop in sales, the company announced Wednesday.
The food hall at 916 W Fulton Market opened in 2019, but will shut its doors on Jan. 29. The venue hosted several vendors, events and live programming.
Timeout Market CEO Michael Marlay said the venue was closing due to inconsistent foot traffic following the pandemic, which has led to an “ongoing hybrid working” and an increase in operating costs.
“It has been an honour to serve Chicago, and we have loved our time here—Chicago is a fantastic city with outstanding food and cultural scenes. We want to thank our team, our chefs and restaurateurs who truly are the best of the city,” said Marlay. “It is thanks to all of them that the Chicago Market has been a wonderful place for our guests whom we also would like to thank wholeheartedly.”
Time Out Group said its media brand, Time Out Chicago, would continue to operate.
