Umamicue Cancels Plans for a Downtown Food Hall Location | Eater Chicago

"A Loop food hall that changed operators in summer 2024 has been hampered by slow timelines and equipment procurement problems under its new management, eroding trust among prospective tenants. New operators acknowledged failures around sourcing and installing necessary equipment for incoming vendors, and the hall lost at least one predecessor and missed opportunities to resolve disputes over critical pieces of gear. Those operational hiccups, combined with a wider decline in downtown office foot traffic and a slow approval process tied to building ownership, have made the location less attractive to some vendors." - Ashok Selvam
