Time Out Markets to Close Chicago and Boston Food Halls Amid Foot-Traffic Slump and Rising Costs
Time Out Group will close its Time Out Market food halls in Chicago and Boston on January 23, 2026, due to weaker post-pandemic foot traffic and higher operating costs. The markets, hosting roughly 15–17 eateries and bars each, will shutter in both cities, but the Time Out brand will remain online and active elsewhere, with the company saying it isn’t goodbye to either city.
