The operator of the Pythian Market on Loyola Street in New Orleans’ Central Business District has been served with an eviction notice for failing to pay more than $2.5 million in back rent, throwing into question the future of the popular food hall and its 10 vendors.
Local investment group ERG Enterprises, which owns the historic, nine-story Pythian Building that is home to the food hall, filed the court papers earlier this week. ERG seeks to evict Pythian Public Market LLC, which operates the first-floor food hall and also an event venue on the second and third floors.
