Time Out Market Chicago Opens
Time Out Group plc (AIM: TMO), the global media and leisure business, is pleased to announce that Time Out Market Chicago opens to the public today, bringing the best of the city under one roof, based on the editorial curation Time Out has always been known for.
Occupying three floors, Time Out Market Chicago showcases an outstanding lineup of 18 of the city's best chefs and restaurateurs, including two with Michelin stars in their own restaurants. There are also three bars, a demonstration kitchen, an events kitchen, an entertainment platform with bleacher seating and an all-season rooftop bar complete with impressive skyline views.
Located at 916 W Fulton Market in the city's thriving West Loop neighbourhood, this is the Group's largest location in North America. With its 50,000 sq ft and unique design, Time Out Market Chicago is a vibrant and expansive space offering a unique array of culinary and cultural experiences.
The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in Lisbon and today the food and cultural market remains Portugal's most popular attraction with 3.9 million visitors in 2018. Following this success, five new Time Out Markets opened in North America this year in Miami and New York (May), in Boston (June), Montréal (November) and in Chicago today. The six Time Out Markets now offer food from 120 of the best chefs of these cities, occupying 185,000 sq ft and accommodating almost 4,000 seats.
The global roll out of the successful format continues with Time Out Market openings in Dubai (2020), London-Waterloo (2021) and in Prague thereafter; the Company continues to scope new locations.
