COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Foodies, get excited ― Columbia is getting its very own open-air food hall.
Modeled after GATHER GVL, an outdoor food hall in Greenville, GATHER COLA, is coming to the Bull Street District.
“This project will bring a diversity of food offerings and a vibrant energy to the already active Bull Street project,” said Frank Cason, president of Cason Development Group. “This is a project for all of Columbia to enjoy!”
The food hall will be more than 32,000 square feet and have multiple levels, according to a news release from developers Cason Development Group.
Construction on the food hall has already begun and its expected to open by the end of this year, the developers said.
Nine restaurants spaces are available, a news release said.
After trying a new type of food, people can shop around at some of the pop-up retail spaces inside the food hall.
GATHER COLA will also have two bar areas ― one with a rooftop view.
The new food market will compliment a large green space, called The Lawn, that is being developed between Bull, Freed and Pickens streets, which is near the historic Babcock Center.
The Lawn is expected to open in 2025.
That area of Columbia is expected to undergo many new developments in the next couple years and is attracting several interesting restaurants.
This Thursday, Tupelo Honey, a southern restaurant from Asheville, North Carolina, featuring breakfast and lunch fare, is hosting a grand opening at their new location on Pickens Street.
Coastal Crust, a South Carolina pizzeria, is also coming to Columbia’s Bull Street District.
Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar and Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe are two of the other restaurants coming to the Bull Street District.
Food vendors, retailers, and businesses interested can contact Holly Buxton with Cason Development Group at 803- 550-3145. Office space is also available, the developers said.
