She’s eager for the larger footprint, for one.
The shop is moving next door to Kippered down the block, says Lydia Clarke, who owns both outfits. The Chiles Secos stall is becoming a grab-and-go stand serving South American food, with a formal announcement on that tenant coming soon.ĭTLA Cheese is also departing the market after nine years its last day will be Sunday, April 23. PBJ.LA’s space will convert to a sushi concept from an unnamed LA chef, serving counter-side diners and offering takeaway boxes of nigiri and hand rolls. Clark Street’s stall has been handed over to Bakers Kneaded founder Carlos Enriquez, who will offer baked goods, breads, and breakfast foods soon. The market has already found tenants for some of the closed spaces. String lights on the patio at Horse Thief BBQ. They also view newcomers like Broad Street Oyster Company and For the Win burgers as capable partners that can reach a new, and often younger, audience. The brothers point to Sticky Rice and Eggslut as examples of strong growth that was first seeded at the market. In some cases, tenants start as a small new concept, and then grow to a much larger operation that requires a shift in their attention.” “We are never happy to see a tenant vacate Grand Central Market, but over time, tenants are inevitably going to leave for various reasons. “Grand Central Market is continuously evolving,” the Daneshgars say in a statement to Eater. Now, six years and one pandemic later, the brothers say that some fluctuation at the market is inevitable - though they’re quick to point out that each vendor departure is unique.

Rocio Lopez, who had run the mole and chiles retail stall for years after inheriting it from her father, quietly retired earlier this month. The biggest name is undoubtedly Chiles Secos, one of the market’s oldest vendors at nearly 50 years. They include PBJ.LA, the gourmet peanut butter and jelly stand that left in early April, and Clark Street Bread, which walked away back in February. Of the six departing vendors, several have already made their exit publicly known. Now at least six vendors - some new, some old - are set to depart the market at roughly the same time, meaning new opportunities for some, and hard goodbyes for others. First opened in 1917, the 106-year-old space has seen plenty of comings and goings over its many decades, including a rise to prominence a decade ago thanks to a slew of new and vital vendors like Eggslut, Horse Thief, and G & B Coffee.
