Chinatown Square, which opened in 2017 as an Asian food hall in the former Shanghai Bazaar gift emporium, was all but empty for two years, as its vendors dropped out one by one.
The double storefront at 1016 Race St. is being revived as the Square Food Court, overseen by Levell “Garci” Peterkin, the North Philadelphia-born entrepreneur whose Carter’s Steaks by Garci anchors one of the front windows.
