As developers, hotel operators and consumers take notice of the boom in contemporary food halls, Nichola Beskine-Taylor, Partner at TGP International, shares a few thoughts on what’s behind it all: “Consumers now expect much more from F&B venues. As we move away from the classic food court model, often associated with low-quality offerings, we're entering a new era of food halls that are driving significant interest from developers eager to enhance their properties with attractive and high-calibre dining destinations. The emphasis has shifted from traditional Retail, Dining, and Entertainment (RDE) setups in urban developments to more integrated, holistic environments. We’re seeing developers now prioritise diverse, high-quality food and beverage options as a key strategy to elevate appeal and meet commercial objectives. Food halls, in particular, have emerged as a winning formula. This model, characterised by elevated quality and diversity combined with added social and interactive elements, allows landlords to maximise the potential of their assets by creating spaces that offer greater flexibility and returns, all while boosting the value and reputation of malls and other urban complexes. Equally, hotel operators are implementing similar tactics—strategically placing clustered F&B and food hall models within their properties as a means to bolster their all-day dining offerings, increase foot traffic, and drive repeat visits.” #TGPInternational

We’ve revamped our company profile! Take a look:

Rowan Kandil, TGP’s Regional Design Director based in Egypt offers her take on ‘Why Egypt Needs Food Halls’. “As someone who works in design, particularly in food and beverage spaces, I’ve seen firsthand how food halls around the world create an exciting space for people to come together over food, explore new tastes, and connect. And I can’t help but feel that Egypt, with its deep and diverse food culture, is ready for its own version of this. Food halls have become more than just places to eat—they are central to modern urban life, serving as hubs where people gather, discover new flavours, and connect over shared experiences. For developers, they represent a new paradigm in real estate, creating flexible, high-traffic spaces that drive profitability and add value to existing property portfolios. For consumers, food halls offer a vibrant alternative to traditional dining experiences, combining variety, convenience, and a deeper engagement with food culture.” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dqTcC2uS #TGPInternational

As we continue our mission to redefine the food hall model—building on the incredible reception received by venues like Al Mamlaka Social Dining and Depachika—we’re in a privileged position to grow our network of amazing F&B brands as we plan new and exciting food hall projects across Saudi Arabia.

What’s behind the growing interest in F&B from sectors that have traditionally had little to do with the world of restaurants, dining and food retail? As we continue to respond to enquiries from a diverse range of verticals and industries that have, until now, applied minimal investment into their food and beverage offerings, we’re excited by the increasing recognition of strategic F&B as a major driver of customer experience and satisfaction. #TGPInternational
