Disneyland has filed building permits for a new $8.2 million food hall concept called Parkside Market in Downtown Disney’s west end.
The new F&B destination is expected to open by late 2024. It will be run by Chicago-based Levy Restaurants.
Disneyland filed the construction permits in October with the city of Anaheim, the Orange County Register reports.
In a blog post in October, Disney confirmed that plans were underway for Parkside Market, which it describes as a curated collection of diverse culinary concepts.
All four F&B offerings will be located under one roof as part of Disneyland’s expansion of the west end of Downtown Disney.
The new Parkside Market food and beverage concepts include:
Seoul Sister – a fast-casual eatery that will serve a menu based on Korean rice bowls, or bibimbap, with a California twist.
Sip & Sonder – a Black women-owned brand from founders Amanda-Jane Thomas and Shanita Nicholas that will offer lattes, frozen drinks and Caribbean-inspired snacks.
GG’s Chicken Shop – a shop from Boka Restaurant Group that will serve chicken sandwiches, salads and classic sides.
Al fresco bar – a drinking establishment serving craft cocktails and mocktails such as espresso martinis and frozen lemonades.
F&B destination to open by late 2024
As part of the investment in Downtown Disney’s west end, Disneyland has already added a new stage and lawn for special events, activities and entertainment. The new area also includes a sculptural tower designed by Nikkolas Smith.
In more news, Anaheim residents and business leaders have provided early feedback on Disneyland’s planned expansion project.
The proposal involves updating a 1990s Anaheim city plan to add rides, attractions, retail, dining and entertainment to the western and southeastern edges of the resort.
Disney’s global development vice president Rachel Alde said the company will work with residents and is “simply asking to utilize the entitlements that we already have for the theme park and hotel and spread it across the lands that we already own and control.”
