When Cushman & Wakefield first reported on the food hall movement, the concept was still in its relative infancy. Food halls were largely divided into two basic camps; larger projects— often in historic, transit-oriented locales or smaller, mostly chef-driven concepts— almost all of which were located in Manhattan and just a handful of other American cities. But what began as a trend that was largely relegated to just a few markets has since exploded.
