Chef Troy Guard is hopping on the Denver food hall train, and it will include his first foray into pizza.
The local restaurateur and founder of TAG Restaurant Group plans to open his nearly 13,000-square-foot food hall and brewery, known as Grange Hall, this August in the Denver Tech Center.
“In the last five years, food halls have become more and more popular,” Guard said. “I think customers are attracted to the price point, the social atmosphere and the variety of options.”
“And vendors can test out their concept for $50,000 or less, compared to building your own restaurant for hundreds of thousands or even a million dollars,” he added. “If it does (well), you can move on to something bigger and better, so it lends itself to people who want to dip their toes in the water or someone like me who wants to see if people like my pizza.”
