The Loop's Revival Food Hall has announced its closure slated for the end of July, marking the end of an eight-year stint at 125 S Clark St in downtown Chicago. The decision, as shared on their Instagram account and reported by WGN-TV, stems from an impasse with the building's landlord over business terms.
Revival's management expressed their regret in the announcement, stating, "Since reopening after COVID, inviting people back downtown has been our mission. Our vision was that Revival would serve the Loop community for many years to come. Unfortunately, without better business terms from our landlord, Revival cannot continue.” It has been a destination for a diverse array of local vendors such as Aloha Poke, and The Fat Shallot has carved out a space in the hearts of many who patronize the food scene in the Loop.
Moreover, focusing on a positive look toward the future, the hall's management has directed customers to their other location. "We encourage you to continue to support the small businesses that made Revival wonderful," owners mentioned in their parting message obtained by ABC7 Chicago. Patrons and supporters are being redirected to visit From Here On, the food hall situated at the Old Post Office building, which promises to carry forward the legacy of Revival.
The exact date for the hall's closure has not been publicly released, with the announcement simply setting the timeframe for the end of the month. The hall's imminent shutdown leaves a lingering question about the future of the bustling space it will vacate. However, details on what may occupy the soon-to-be-former Revival property, have not been made available as of yet.
