More about Eataly:
Eataly is a chain of large format/footprint Italian marketplaces (food halls) comprising a variety of restaurants, food and beverage counters, bakery, retail items, and a cooking school. Eataly was founded by Oscar Farinetti, an entrepreneur formerly involved in the consumer electronics business, and collaborates with Slow Food. Since 1 October 2016, Eataly has been led by Andrea Guerra, the executive chairman. In January 2007, Italian businessman Oscar Farinetti converted a closed vermouth factory in Turin into the first location of Eataly. Eataly is located in the Lingotto district of Turin, and is easily accessible via the Lingotto metro station. The New York Times has described it as a “megastore” that “combines elements of a bustling European open market, a Whole-Foods-style supermarket, a high-end food court and a New Age learning center.” Farinetti planned early on that additional stores would open elsewhere in Italy and in New York.
The first Eataly location in New York City is located in the Toy Center Building near Madison Square Park. It is over 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) in size, and opened with a large amount of press coverage on August 31, 2010. Mayor Michael Bloomberg attended the opening, praising Eataly for creating 300 new jobs. Two weeks after opening, there were still lines extending down Fifth Avenue to get into the store and it has since been very positively reviewed by the press. The New York Eataly was originally planned for a smaller space near Rockefeller Center.
The chain has additional locations in Italy, a few in Tokyo, and was also scouting for other locations as of 2010.
