The Junction, a 60,000-square-foot Georgetown venue with a food hall inside, is aiming for a November opening
The Junction (pre-opening)
The Junction, an entertainment venue from Georgetown-based Cooley Capital Cos., is approaching a November opening, partner Matt Marshall told Community Impact, which reported it Oct. 1. The 60,000-square-foot project at 210 Blue Springs Blvd. includes a grand dining hall with individual food vendors, plus three pickleball courts, multiple full-service bars, private cabanas and a live music stage. Sweet Lemon Kitchen, Dough-Go Pizza, King’s Chicken Wings, Taconmaye, JABS Smashburger and Shawarma Point will open in the dining space, and a company news release says the food stalls are being built to each vendor’s specifications. The Williamson County Sun reported Oct. 5 that construction is moving forward toward an estimated November opening.
Why it matters Here the food stalls sit inside a bigger entertainment venue with pickleball, bars and a stage, and each stall is being built out for a named vendor before opening day.

Rosedale Center will close Potluck, its food hall of local restaurants, in mid-October
Potluck at Rosedale Center
Potluck, the food hall inside the Rosedale Center mall in Roseville, will close in mid-October, Lisa Crain, vice president and group manager for the mall, told the Minnesota Star Tribune on Oct. 7. Crain didn’t give a reason but said the mall hopes to announce a replacement for the space by early next year. FOX 9 reported that Potluck opened in 2019 as a food hall concept and is home to local restaurants including OG ZaZa Pizza, Smack Shack, Legendary Spice, Black Coffee & Waffle Bar and Tio’s Tacos. OG ZaZa Pizza owner Joshua Hedquist told FOX 9 that Potluck is where his business got its start, and Smack Shack owner Josh Thoma said in a statement that the restaurant is working on finding a place to relocate.
Why it matters Here the mall owner decided to close the hall and says a replacement is coming, which leaves its vendors, including some whose only restaurant is there, looking for new spaces.

Great State Burger and King Leroy close their shared stall at Bellevue’s Lincoln South Food Hall, and Mean Sandwich is coming
Lincoln South Food Hall
Great State Burger and King Leroy, which shared one connected space on the second floor of Lincoln Square South at 500 Bellevue Way NE, have closed at Lincoln South Food Hall, the Downtown Bellevue Network reported Oct. 7. A sign posted outside says Mean Sandwich, a Seattle sandwich shop, plans to open in the space. The two brands opened together in August 2024 in the space Burbs Burgers had used, and the hall’s newest tenant, the acai brand Oakberry, opened in July. The hall closed for a refresh in March 2022, ownership passed from Ascend Hospitality Group to Kemper Development Company, and it reopened in June 2023 with a new lineup.
Why it matters When two brands share one stall they can leave together, and here the whole space already has a new sandwich tenant lined up.

Knockabout Burgers’ owners fill a second stall at Denver’s Avanti with For Your Boca
Avanti Food & Beverage
For Your Boca, serving tacos, bowls and shareable starters, opens Monday, Oct. 12, in the upstairs stall at Avanti Food & Beverage in LoHi that Amá Modern Mexican used to occupy, Westword reported Oct. 7. It’s the second concept at the hall for Kaitlyn Peot and Brandon Spain, the husband-and-wife owners of Knockabout Burgers, which sits right next door. Longtime employee Ricardo Avila is the executive chef. Westword noted that Avanti, at 3200 Pecos St., has also brought in Berliner Haus and Ciao Babe in recent years.
Why it matters Here an empty stall went to owners who already run the stall next door, so the new concept opens with a team that already knows the hall.
