It’s official, Columbia is getting a food hall – anticipated to open in 2021. While the project is still in the very early stages, a lease has been signed on a 19,000 sq.ft. space in the downtown area, and several vendors are already in negotiations with the developers.

Columbia’s Sanctuary Food Hall will be brought to us by the Atlanta-based developers behind the Marietta Square Market in Marietta, Ga. – and The Shopping Center Group’s Charleston office will spearhead its marketing efforts.

Here’s what Marietta Square Market looks like:

As of now, ~17 restaurants/vendors will fill the space – ranging from local favorites to ones with global influence. Several vendors will have full service alcohol licenses as well.

We’re firm believers in “you never know who is watching….” because just as a reminder, back in June 2018 we gave y’all a rundown of food halls and then we asked who you would want to see in one and where you’d want it to be located – if we got one.

Let’s continue to influence who might be behind the counters of Sanctuary Food Hall. 👇
