White Star Market, the Mid City food hall shuttered due to coronavirus mitigation measures, has notified its landlord it will not reopen—even after the government lifts the stay-at-home order.
Architect Josh Hoffpauir—who designed and co-owns Square 46, the mixed-use development on Government Street anchored by White Star Market—confirms he received a letter March 27 from White Star’s owner, Clark Gaines, stating that because of the pandemic the food hall is permanently closed.
In a statement to Daily Report, Gaines says, “based on the COVID-19 pandemic and the proclamations that have been issued, we could no longer operate our food hall at Square 46, nor could our vendors sustain themselves.”

This shutdown is going to close so many small businesses.

Unfortunately, Baton Rouge doesn’t seem like a good long term market for a concept like this.

This sucks. What about my government taco man

I don't think they were doing all that great even before all of these shutdowns. The atmosphere sucked and the food wasn't food enough to bring me back consistenly.
Chow Yum Phat had the best food anyway, and I'd much rather go to their Perkins location.

Went a while back and it was empty, not a good atmosphere

Once CYP and MJs opened their separate locations there wasn't a reason to go there. All the other vendors were marginal at best.

The bar in white star had killer happy hour deals. I wonder what they building could even be turned into?

Most importantly, what does this mean for 3 Tails? Is it separate?

Always thought it was a bad location. I never understood the hype for that area. Right on the edge of Baton Rouge's upper shithole. High crime. Yes, the neighborhoods to the south are fine and dandy, but I didn't expect it to offer enough support to make it successful.
Then I started hearing how wonderful and busy the place was. Always packed. And I was like, "What am I missing?"
Apparently nothing. Just overhyped bs. I was right and usually am about these things.
Should've have put it on Perkins Rd and cut out the pretentious food.
