Food court

Originally the food court at Santa Fe Place was named El Mercado. The food court hosted 12 restaurants, an arcade, and the United Artists South movie theater. After changing management, El Mercado was changed to The Market, after renovation. The Market can house 6 restaurants, due to Foot Action previously occupying the other half of the court. When renovated, the seating area was leveled.[23] In 2020, Spinoso Real Estate Group remodeled the food court, along with adding a Ropes Course as the centerpiece. Rad Retrocade also will fill the former Jets Arcade location.[24]
