Parkville Market Seeks To Open For Take-Out Only

HARTFORD, CT — Parkville Market may open this month for takeout sales only, according to Hartford Business Journal. The $5.1 million, 20,000-square-foot hall was nearly complete before the coronavirus pandemic hit and closed businesses across the state.

The market is currently gauging how many of its 11 food vendors will be willing to open for takeout-only sales. There are still some final hurdles to clear before this can happen, such as securing building inspection and certificate of occupancy approvals, according to Hartford Business Journal.

Parkville Market is expected to open in early 2020 and bring hundreds of jobs to the area. Described as Connecticut's first food hall, it will be housed in the Capitol City Lumber Co. building at 1400 Park St.

The project will include 19 restaurants, more than 20 retailers, as well as bars, event spaces, and outdoor dining. Some of the restaurants to be included will be Disco Forno Pizza Napoletana, Ceviche Bowls, and Portly Pic.

Lucky Taco, which started as a food truck in Hartford then expanded to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Manchester in 2014, will also have a location.
