Thirsty Lion Gastropub, a division of Concept Entertainment Group, has picked its Chandler location to launch Central Kitchen â an online food hall.
Four new restaurant concepts were developed for Central Kitchen, each featuring unique culinary directions and scratch-made food available for takeout and delivery from the one central website.Â
âThe online food hall launched in Oregon last fall with great success,â said the company, and Arizona is now the fourth state where it has launched.
âWeâve been fostering the idea of a kitchen focused on takeout and delivery for the last year,â said John Plew, president and CEO of Thirsty Lion Gastropub. âThe pandemic put the process into hyper speed, and we saw this as the perfect opportunity to pivot with the climate and launch an idea that aligns with current consumer demands.Â
