CW Retail - Food Halls Report

Original Farmers Market

T he Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles has been in existence since 1934 but hasn’t actually had a permanent farmer’s market on the property for decades (though it does regularly host weekend events). Currently it houses a variety of restaurants, street foods, vendor kiosks and stalls along with a fair share of mostly tourism-related retail shops. While Los Angeles’ other current top food hall

destination (Grand Central Market) may boast a mix of authentic and/or chef-driven food concepts, the Original Farmers Market’s lineup is mostly about comfort or street food. It even has its own Buca di Beppo. But it is also directly adjacent to one of the world’s premier lifestyle shopping centers—The Grove. It is also in close proximity to CBS Studios and has been a major tourism draw for decades.
