What is Chancery Market?

Chancery Market, which opened on Dec. 1, is located on the bottom floor of what had been known as the Hercules Building.

The 12,000-square-foot culinary collective in a 12-story building is in Wilmington's business district off North Market Street near the banks of the Brandywine.

It's a few blocks away from DECO, a 13,000-square-foot food hall with eight food stalls at 111 W. 10th St., which has been operating since April 2019.
