Actually the hotel has nothing to do with the Food Court, rather the management of The Bellevue will be doing the negotiating. I am suspicious of this actually coming to fruition, since the leasing agreements for the merchants in that food court include food exclusive clauses, preventing two vendors from selling the same main product. There is already a cheesesteak place down there.

I don’t think there is a place in the food court dedicated solely to cheesesteaks though. There is a Flamer’s Grill and Angelo’s Pizza. Not sure what the specific of the agreement is, but I think Rick’s could still be included.

Prior to Angelo’s it was Montesin i’s, and I know that THEY had an exclusive to serve cheesesteaks down there; so maybe things and terms of leases have changed.
