A €40 million renovation of a historic Stoa in central Athens was announced for completion in early July 2026. By 27 July, the refurbished Megaro Arsakeio Stoa reopened to the public as a mixed‑use venue featuring a glass‑covered atrium, a culinary market called STOA AGORA with thousands of products from Greek producers, and space for cultural and educational activities. The project, led by the Phileducational Company and operated by Legendary Food with financing from Alpha Bank, Crediabank and other investors, aims to accommodate up to 10 000 daily visitors and revitalize the Omonia‑Stadiou‑University district.

The redevelopment transformed the 19th‑century building into an urban landmark intended to revive traditional Mediterranean shared‑dining practices while providing retail and cultural services.
