Bagel Bakery owner says payment problems persist at City Food Hall

The owner of The Bagel Bakery in Gainesville says City Food Hall owes him about $4,000 in unpaid revenue, raising concerns about the midtown food hall's payment practices and whether other vendors are experiencing similar problems. Jason Cole, owner of The Bagel Bakery, told The Sun in an Oct. 27 phone interview that he had not received a payment since Oct. 5 and said he was aware of other businesses at the food hall experiencing similar issues. Cole also owns The Bagel Bakery at 4113 NW 16th Blvd. Cole, who opened a location at the food hall in August, said his business entered into an agreement with City Food Hall that required vendors to use a shared payment system. He said the food hall is operated by founder and CEO Peter Rounce and occupies space on the bottom floor of The Standard, 1360 W. University Ave. Under the arrangement, Cole said sales revenue from vendors went into a central account before businesses were paid their weekly sales, minus agreed-upon fees. Cole said 18% was deducted from sales, including a 15% fee for City Food Hall and another 3% to support employees working in common areas, such as janitorial staff. While

5 Best Restaurants in Tallahassee, Florida You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Tallahassee, Florida — a city where the oaks drip with Spanish moss and the air hums with the laughter of students, where the red-brick heart of the South beats alongside the rhythm of new arrivals, where every block is stitched with stories and the scent of something simmering. Here, the city’s soul is a patchwork: Seminole pride, Southern hospitality, and the vibrant pulse of a capital that never quite sits still.

Tallahassee favorite Nach'Yo Nachos going to food truck format

Family-owned Nach'Yo Nachos – known for its customizable, topping-loaded nachos – is leaving its Railroad Square storefront in Tallahassee and taking its business on the road. "While we are transitioning away from our storefront, we are NOT closing our doors—we’re moving on up and taking the flavor on the road! We want to send a deep, heartfelt thank you to Railroad Square for providing us with our very first storefront over this past year," an Oct. 26 social media post said. "We have enjoyed every single minute spent in the district, growing with you all and serving our incredible community." Owner/founder Adrian Kershaw and her apprentices introduced their giant, decadent platters of nachos and much more on Oct. 1, 2025. For Kershaw, the business was about more than food. "It was giving my kids the opportunity to open up a business and have their own employment so they didn't have to worry about trying to find a job," she said. With over 30 years of management experience and an admiration for places like Publix Super Markets' customer service model, she knew this would be another way to bring her and kids together. It would provide flexible learning opportunities for other

People Drive Across Florida Just For The Smoked Fish Spread At This Old Shack In Panacea

There’s a fish dip called the Hot Mess, and it blends cobia, tuna, and salmon with candied jalapeno. I’m sorry, but that name alone deserves a road trip. The fish gets smoked right on site over sweet hardwood in an outdoor pit. The smoke drifts toward the road, so your nose finds the place before your GPS does.
