ABOUT
The Carlin Company is America’s preeminent developer of artisan food markets. We regularly receive requests for assistance and advice relating to planning, merchandising, tenanting, and implementing specialty markets and food halls. This seminar, Food Halls 101, is designed to provide real estate professionals, public agency planners, design professionals, operators and other interested parties like you with actionable information and insights gained from our experience, to help you create a successful and sustainable gathering place in your real estate development or community.
WHY ATTEND?
Retail is changing and consumers are more demanding.
Placemaking is critical and food retail a powerful consumer draw. Food Halls 101 will introduce you to leading experts in the fields of building, tenanting, and operating the ultimate placemaking venues of our time.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS KNOW 80% OF WHAT IT TAKES TO OPEN A FOOD HALL.
WE’LL SHOW YOU THE 20% THAT MAKES THEM SUCCESSFUL.
DEVELOPING A FOOD HALL?
WE’LL INTRODUCE CONCEPTS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS
Food Halls 101 will provide you with critical information and guidance to help you understand how to transform your project into a community center, ultimately satisfying your financial and long-range value creation expectations. We can share our experience in placemaking to introduce you to the development details unique to modern food retail. We also focus on a triple bottom line approach believing that commitment to local community – vendors, employees, and the local and regional food chains – helps to build an institutional consumer gathering place, thereby creating a stronger and more stable profit center. From evaluating the potential of a particular location, through market design, licensing, tenanting, to operational oversight and day-to-day management, we can help you create a successful, sustainable food hall that has the power to change the dynamics of your real estate and activate or re-energize the community around it.
