Idea

Introduction

Our mission is to curate good times with flavour, joy and authenticity. Connecting our community in the beautiful spaces we passionately bring to life.

In 2017, Market Halls reformed the way that people chose to socialise, eat, work & play. With 3 venues already well established in Fulham, Victoria and the West End, coupled with a huge pent up demand, we are committed to quickly scaling the business through a finely-tuned expansion plan, fresh new identity, new gold-dust venues and an improved customer offering.

The successful venues which generated £15.2m revenue 12 months to Feb 20 and £1.5m EBITDA from Victoria alone are set to grow with pace and have an appetite bigger than ever before. Food Halls are the fastest growing restaurant category in Europe & going out for coffee, socialising and dining are 3 of the top 5 most missed social outings.

With a hall-full of new talent, partners and a re-energised team, we will take our proven business model and reawaken it with dynamite.

Substantial accomplishments to date

2015 - it all started with an idea. Market Halls was defined and the mission was a go. Andy put the wheels in motion. Here's Andy...

2018 - FULHAM & VICTORIA ARE BORN welcoming millions of customers through the doors. To put it in perspective; 1 million visitors to Victoria in its 1st year vs London Zoo 1.07m in the same year.

2019 - MH OXFORD STREET ARRIVES just off Oxford Street in a prime location, our third venue caused quite a stir of excitement in the West End. The MH success continued with an EXPONENTIAL GROWTH PATTERN - generating £15 MILLION in revenue in FY20, up 77% on the year before.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 62. Anything over 50 is considered excellent. Represents the likelihood of customers recommending Market Halls to a friend or colleague. We score well above the national average of 43.

We boast a ‘Best in Class’ retention rate of 80% repeat business. A testament to our mission to create amazing spaces for people to return to regularly and form part of their life routine.

We are the proud nucleus of a unique community of engaged customers with the average spend set to grow now we are returning to some freedom; with 47% of consumers intending to spend more in 2021.

Featured fondly in publications such as The Telegraph, The Guardian and Independent, Market Halls has been quoted as “the high street’s hottest place to eat”

WE'RE ALREADY REOPENING: Following the recent opening of Victoria and Fulham, West End is next to open, ramping up the 3 exisiting venues to and beyond pre covid levels. Whilst we are working hard refurbishing all of the halls for their grand openings including new bar layouts, we are also planning for the next phase which the funds raised by you will help us achieve.

The full venue refurbishments will ensure the customer experience, word of mouth marketing and new customer acquisition is maximised

NEW VENUES: With a new exciting venue already secured in Canary Wharf and ready to open in 2022 (a very welcome propostion and addition to the area) alongside a thoughtful business plan with additional revenue streams, the next stage will be to secure more exciting new venues in gold dust locations, 2 by 2025

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale.
