Podcast 237 - Politan Row Food Hall at Ashford Lane - Will Donaldson   Dunwoody waited a long time for this food hall... then it disappeared after only a couple months. Will Donaldson and Politan Row have stepped in to take it over with a proven track record at Colony Square in Midtown and across the southeast. There will be 9 unique food stalls with great options including Pretty Little Taco, Tandoori Pizza & Wings Co., Gekko Sushi, 26 Thai, Sheesh Mediterranean, Smokehouse Q, and a new rendition of Jojo's Beloved Bar. You may notice they are adding an enclosed patio and painting a huge mural on the side of the building soon. Mid-November is the projected opening for the Dunwoody location, and there is an additional Politan Row Food Hall coming soon to the Forum in Peachtree Corners.

How do you develop food halls people love? And help new food entrepreneurs build businesses that thrive? They're two vital goals for today's guest. Will Donaldson launched the food hall business, Politan Row, in 2014. Starting with a single site in New Orleans, he has since launched markets in cities across the US. These include Chicago, Miami, Houston and Atlanta. In today's podcast, Will shares with you how he builds markets that drive massive footfall. And why his operating model helps food entrepreneurs get results.

Politan Row operates food halls in places like New Orleans, Houston and Chicago. CEO WIll Donaldson talks about their experimentation with drive through, ghost kitchens, and catering.  James Cook is the director of retail research in the Americas for JLL.  Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts Listen: WhereWeBuy.show  Alexa: Say "Enable the Where We Buy skill" Email: jamesd.cook@am.jll.com  Leave a message on the Where We Buy hotline.
