Time Out Group has launched a new market in Prague, it was revealed today.

The firm announced that it has entered into a management agreement with CRESTYL Group to open a new Time Out Market in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. This is Time Out Market’s second management agreement, enabling further global roll-out of the successful food and cultural market.

CRESTYL Group – one of the leading developers in the Czech Republic – will invest in the development and operation of the entire Time Out Market Prague site and will obtain all necessary planning and licencing consents. As part of this long-term management agreement, Time Out Group will receive a guaranteed management fee and have primary responsibility for branding, curation and day-to-day operation of the site.

The first Time Out Market opened in Lisbon in 2014, bringing the best of the city together under one roof: its best restaurants, bars and cultural experiences, based on editorial curation. Today, it is Portugal’s most popular attraction with a record 3.6 million visitors in 2017. The Group is now bringing this success story to other cities around the world with five Time Out Markets coming to North America next year: Miami, New York, Boston, Chicago and Montréal, the Group’s first management agreement.

With its opening expected at the end of 2021, Time Out Market Prague will be located at the heart of the historic city centre in the Savarin – a project by CRESTYL Group to redevelop the prime downtown area and busy neighbourhood around the famous Wenceslas Square. This is the city’s main retail area and cultural centre, attracting over 150,000 footfall every day. Upon opening, Savarin is set to become Prague’s prime shopping experience, culinary destination and commercial hot spot with its extensive office space.

Across 25,000 sq ft, Time Out Market Prague will accommodate around 465 seats indoors and 120 outdoors. There will be 14 food offerings, two bars, a speakeasy lounge, a cultural space and a retail shop – all representing the best food, drinks and culture the city has to offer.

Julio Bruno, CEO of Time Out Group plc, stated:

“We are pleased to have partnered with CRESTYL Group, entering into our second management agreement for Time Out Market. This allows us to further expand our incredibly successful format around the world. It is another great milestone in the transformation of Time Out into a global media and entertainment brand with a digital and physical presence.

”Within just a few years, Time Out Market has become a recognised and visionary global brand in the hospitality sector – we are very proud to bring Time Out Market to the beautiful city of Prague.”
