MRM Food Hall Focus: Transcending the Trend

3 Min Read By MRM Staff

Food Halls are hot commodties in both the restaurant and real estate industries. For this Food Hall Focus feature, Modern Restaurant Management (MRM) magazine reached out to Joseph A. Magliarditi, President/Chief Executive Officer of The Food Hall Co., which is taking a unique spin on this business model. Magliarditi began his career as a financial analyst, before entering the hospitality industry and leading some of the most iconic properties in Las Vegas, namely the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and The Palms Las Vegas.

Based in Dallas, The Food Hall Co. is currently building a 100,000-square-foot hall in Nashville with more to come. The company puts entertainment first, and food and beverage second. From programming to design to culinary curation as an art form, the team actually runs the beverage program and offer license agreements for their food partners versus a traditional lease. The Food Hall Co. supports their partners with marketing, PR, POS support and more.
