After being shuttered and facing an uncertain future, 22 South, a highly anticipated food hall intended to help revitalize South St. Petersburg’s Deuces neighborhood, has reopened thanks to a new group of investors in the project.

Callaloo Group, a team of investors that included former Tampa Bay Buccaneers standout wide receiver Vincent Jackson, opened 22 South in April despite Jackson’s death in February. The food hall occupies the historic Manhattan Casino building, constructed in 1925 and owned by the city.
