DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Construction is nearing completion on Florida's largest food hall.
The Delray Beach Market is in the final stage of construction and expected to open in the first quarter of 2021.
Delray Beach-based Menin Development is in charge of the project and looking to hire 60 to 80 positions to work at the city's first food hall, just off Atlantic Avenue.
Under construction since 2019, the Delray Beach Market has been modeled for a post-pandemic era with new changes to the plans.
