The food hall opened in 2019 at 916 W. Fulton Market.

"Following the pandemic, we have seen the Chicago Market recover and grow, and we have focused on initiatives driving further growth; however, footfall until today remains inconsistent in the area due to ongoing hybrid working and in addition, operating costs have increased-all of which prevents consistent profitability," Time Out Market CEO Michael Marlay said in a statement. "It has been an honour to serve Chicago, and we have loved our time here-Chicago is a fantastic city with outstanding food and cultural scenes."
