Gettysburg Food Hall Faces Uncertain Future After Seasonal Closure

In Gettysburg, Adams County, the Lincoln Social Food Market, formerly known as SavorHood, is facing potential permanent closure. The 14,000-square-foot venue at 985 Baltimore Pike, which opened its doors under new management last November, may not reopen after this season.

The food hall, taken over and renamed by landlord Brian Zoller following the closure of SavorHood due to financial difficulties, announced on Facebook that it would cease operations after the ‘Gettysburg Rocks’ event this weekend. The property is set to be marketed for sale through the upcoming fall and winter.

The owners explained the closure, citing that the food service and event industry, coupled with the location, diverged significantly from their primary business interests in Franklin County. As a result, they have decided to focus on their core operations.

Customers holding Lincoln Social gift cards are urged to use them at Tex’s Lone Star BBQ by August 25 for either a meal or a cash refund. Alternatively, cardholders can email a photo of the back of their gift card to lincolnsocialfoodmarket@gmail.com for a refund check.

As the future of the venue hangs in the balance, depending on the intentions of the next owner, the community awaits further developments.
