A brand new yet-to-be-named food hall is progressing towards opening in Downtown Chandler on the southwest corner of Chicago and Oregon Streets.
The city council voted on July 20 to tentatively allow the .36-acre to be purchased and developed by JEMBJACD, LLC. The new food hall is led by Jeremy McClymonds, MJ Reavley, and Jackson Armstrong. The three hope to create a space that will house six to 12 restaurants and function as an entertainment and event space. Construction is expected to begin early next year, with the food hall opening in late 2024, according to AZ Central.
“Unless you have visited a food hall in another state similar to what we are creating, to truly grasp the essence of what we offer, you need to experience it firsthand, as it goes beyond anything found in a conventional mall food court,” McClymonds said in a press release. “Our establishment embodies a diverse restaurant mecca, elevating common dishes to an uncommon level of excellence.”
The three bring an extensive history of experience to this project. Armstrong is the owner of Armstrong Hospitality and the co-mastermind behind Ginger Monket Gastropub. McClymonds owns Chandler’s FORM Prosperity Wealth Advisors, which was awarded the 2018 Chandler Chamber of Commerce Micro Business of the Year. Finally, Reavely is the owner of Emerald City Athletics in Chandler. Together they will bring a plethora of new food options to the area, none of which have been named yet.
“It will not be specifically a sports bar, but a welcoming gathering spot with wall-to-wall televisions broadcasting every sport, every day,” McClymonds said. “Our venue will also be an entertainment hub, offering live music and engaging entertainment multiple times a week. It will be a captivating destination where remarkable culinary experiences, entertainment, and community engagement intersect in perfect harmony.”
