New Food Hall Coming to Livermore?

Conceptual Design from LoopNet
Could a food hall be coming to downtown Livermore? Possibly!
A new listing on LoopNet for the former Pennyweight Brewery space at First Street and Railroad Avenue refers to it as the Storehouse Micro Food Hall.
From the listing, it looks like there could be 4 or 5 spaces available for future food vendors, and the location really is a great one.
It has a prime downtown spot, a spacious deck, two levels, and sits right across from CinemaWest and the Bankhead, which would make it such a fun place to grab a bite or drink before a show.
I’ll definitely keep you posted on this one.
And thank you to Food Service Partners for the inside scoop!
