Global Foods, New Diner Coming to Delmar Loop

Global Foods is coming to the Delmar Loop. The grocery store will anchor Washington University's $80 million Delmar Loop redevelopment project.

The confirmation was first reported Thursday in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Global Foods was rumored to be interested in the location in April, but confirmation didn't come until Thursday.

The new retail space also will include a peacock-themed late night restaurant from Joe Edwards, owner of Blueberry Hill, The Pageant and Moonrise Hotel.

The 4.4-acre residential and retail development project includes 22,000 square feet of new retail space.

This would be the second Global Foods in the St. Louis area. The first is located on Lindbergh Blvd. in Kirkwood.

The mixed-use development, to be built on existing university-owned property, will be between Delmar and Enright to the north and flanked by Westgate and Eastgate avenues.
