Disneyland Files Construction Permits for $8 million Parkside Market in Downtown Disney
An innovative food hall-style concept, costing $8 million, is set to take over an upcoming 11,000 sqft building in Downtown Disney. This Parkside Market will feature Korean rice bowls, fried chicken sandwiches, and Caribbean-inspired coffee, complete with a second-story outdoor bar. Disneyland submitted building permits to the city of Anaheim in October, valuing the construction at $8.2 million, as per city records.

The commercial construction permits submitted to the Anaheim Planning and Building Department outline plans for a fast-food restaurant featuring four distinct concepts and second-floor outdoor dining.
According to The Orange County Register there are four new Parkside Market food and beverage concepts coming to Parkside Market. Those are:
- Seoul Sister – Bibimbap Korean rice bowls with a California twist and an Asian-inspired breakfast menu from Executive Chef Kelly Kim.
- Sip & Sonder – Los Angeles-based coffee house with Caribbean-inspired bites and frozen drinks from founders Amanda-Jane Thomas and Shanita Nicholas. Sip & Sonder has a flagship location in Inglewood and a second outpost at the Los Angeles Music Center.
- GG’s Chicken Shop – Rotisserie and fried chicken sandwiches with classic dinner table sides from Michelin Star Chef Lee Wolen and James Beard Award-winning restaurateurs Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm. The first brick-and-mortar GG’s Chicken Shop opened in Chicago earlier this year.
- Al Fresco Bar – An as-yet-unnamed al fresco bar on the second story of Parkside Market offering craft cocktails, frozen lemonades and espresso martinis.
These concepts will be brought together by Levy Restaurants with all four locations under one roof in Downtown Disney’s west end near the Disneyland Hotel. The construction of the new 11,000-square-foot building is taking place on the grounds where the former AMC Theaters, Starbucks West, Earl of Sandwich, and Sugarboo & Co. once stood. These structures were demolished in February 2022 as part of a multi-year project aimed at reimagining the Downtown Disney outdoor shopping center.
