After a sale contract for the lot fell through, the Good Food Here pod, located at Southeast 43rd Ave. and Belmont St., will not be closing.

"We received an offer but hadn't necessarily planned to sell it," Eric Cress, principal of current owner Urban Development Partners said. "It's not uncommon for us to receive unsolicited offers on our property."

Some carts, including Fishbox, Herb's Mac and Cheese and Cackalack's Hot Chicken Shack, are among carts that have signed 18-month leases. Others in the space are on month-to-month contracts.

Currently, the company has no other plans for the lot except to run it as a food cart pod.

The Good Food Here pod was one of many cart pods across the city potentially slated for redevelopment.
