Wells Street Market

"Wells Street Market in the Loop permanently closed in mid-September." - Naomi Waxman

"Wells Street Market, a downtown food hall in the Loop, is closing again on Friday, September 18, after reopening two months ago. Despite hints of reopening once normalcy returns, the closure appears more permanent this time. The market originally debuted in June 2018 during a Chicago food hall boom. Upon reopening in July, it featured vendors like Firecakes, Tabo Sushi by chef Takashi Yagihashi, and Fry the Coop. Wells Street attempted to add more vendors but struggled due to the public health crisis." - Naomi Waxman

"Popular Loop food hall Wells Street Market, just south of the Chicago River and east of Wacker Drive and Lake Street, reopens Monday with a handful of vendors, as well as online ordering and pickup. It’s also the first of Chicago’s food hall to reopen with indoor dining, albeit limited, after the state ordered food and drink establishments to close their dining rooms in March." - Naomi Waxman

"The food hall experienced a drop-off in customers and is exploring delivery and pickup options." - Ashok Selvam

"Chicago’s food hall scene has reached its apex, which is good news for the city’s hungry workers. Located in the Loop, Wells Street Market is home to a tantalizing roster of vendors. Diners can chow on sandwiches from Tempesta Market; nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls from Takashi Yagihashi’s Tabo Sushi; and mouthwatering gyros courtesy of Piggie Smalls, a restaurant from Jimmy Bannos Jr. and the team behind the Purple Pig." - Jeffy Mai
