Little Grand Market food hall to be part of Grandview Crossing

Another food hall is coming to central Ohio, this time to an area just outside downtown, near Grandview Heights.

Plans were announced April 22 for the Little Grand Market, a 22,500-square-foot hall with 12 food vendors and a bar that is to overlook a 3-acre park. It's part of Grandview Crossing, a 55-acre development that is to include apartments, offices, a hotel and retail and restaurant space.

Representatives from Thrive Cos., which began construction at Grandview Crossing in 2019 on the side of the former Dublin Road landfill, said the plan is to open the Little Grand Market in August. It offered the name of only one tenant − Bada Bean Bada Booze, the coffee house-bar combo with cafes now in Harrison West and Italian Village − but said others are to be announced in coming weeks.

City of Columbus records, though, show building permits for several businesses at the 710 Grandview Crossing Way address: Pablo's Havana Cafe, For the Love of Dough, Taesty's, Seoul Food on the Go, Just Chicken, Common Rice and Frascati's Market.

Several currently are tenants at other food halls in central Ohio. Pablo's Havana Cafe has space at North Market Bridge Park in Dublin, while Seoul Food on the Go has a stall at Bubbly Hall in New Albany. Just Chicken operates out of East Market on the near-east side. Taesty's operates as a food truck. For the Love of Dough sells cookies at pop-up events.

Little Grand Market developers said they have space available still for a 3,500-square-foot full-service restaurant.
