The upcoming site is scheduled to launch in the first half of next year and will see the city of Barcelona host the food and cultural market that brings the best of the city together under one roof.
Time Out Market Barcelona will be opened to the public in the Maremagnum shopping and leisure destination in the Port Vell area which is close to landmarks such as the Gothic Quarter, the Barceloneta and connected to La Rambla – one of Barcelona’s most renowned streets – via a pedestrian bridge used by 40 million people every year.
Jay Coldren, Co-CEO of Time Out Market (Development) said: “Barcelona is globally regarded as one of the top food destinations in the world and is a perfect fit for our brand. We are excited to bring Time Out Market to this fabulous, vibrant city together with our partners Klépierre and Estrella Damm. We now have an incredibly strong line-up of new Markets that will open in the next few years and with interest from landlords and real estate developers stronger than ever, we expect to further accelerate the signing of new Markets in the year ahead.”
Laetitia Ferracci, Managing Director of Klépierre Iberia commented: “Klépierre is confirming its commitment to Barcelona by investing in Maremagnum to transform its already successful shopping destination in a unique and urban location into a shopping and leisure venue in line with its Shop Meet Connect strategy. It will combine a differentiating retail offer with Time Out Market’s unique curation of the city’s best culinary and cultural experiences. We are very excited to bring a new offer to an experience-hungry foodie audience.”
