Burlington Food Hall now open in former co-op building

The Burlington Food Hall, located inside the former Company Shops Market co-op building, is now open. Located at 268 E. Front St., Burlington, the food hall will house a featured restaurant as well as several other food service kiosks.

Visitors will be able to head downtown and grab a bite for dine-in or takeout from one of five vendors.

In spring 2018, it was announced that the co-op would be closing, and in summer 2019 the food hall was announced. In early 2020, the featured restaurant and some of the kiosk vendors were announced and by spring renovations had begun.

The food hall's featured restaurant, Go Burrito!, opened on Nov. 16.

The California-style burrito restaurant and cocktail bar will serve a variety of specialty burritos like the Hula Burrito, loaded with pork, pineapple salsa and all the traditional burrito toppings, or the San Diego Burrito, full of steak and French fries, as well as classic combinations, sides and desserts. A full-service bar will offer local beers, signature wines and cocktails.

Go Burrito! is currently open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. By mid-December, the restaurant will be open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and the bar will be open until 2 a.m.

Along with the opening came announcements of other vendors that would set up shop in the new facility. These include Crush Superfoods serving smoothie bowls, Casey's Bistro serving breakfast foods, sandwiches and salads, Ni Armor's selling gourmet sauces and Oishii Hibachi Grill.

These kiosks are not yet open.

Also featured in the food hall is a commisary kitchen. The commisary kitchen is a shared commercial kitchen space available for use by "chefs cooking for smaller audiences and (requiring) less product storage at a time, such as food truck or pop-up restaurant owners," according to the food hall's social media page. Chefs looking to use the commisary kitchen should contact info@thecoreproperties.com.

Food hall developer and manager Wellsley Robinson did not respond to requests for a comment on Monday.
