The Entrepreneur Space is an incubator which can be the starting place for many types of businesses. The heart is the 6000 sq ft commercial kitchen for budding foodpreneurs, but we also can be the home for businesses offering services requiring a semi-private or private office or businesses providing seminars/courses by using our classroom or conference rooms.
The Commercial Kitchen
The commercial kitchen is divided into 4 separate kitchen bays, enabling us to have 4 different food manufacturers manufacturing at each shift. The kitchen is open 24/7, rented on a shift basis. Clients using the kitchen area also receive up to 2-hours of our staff’s time devoted to them to assist them in chopping, scooping cookies, packaging the product. The Kitchen is street level and there is free parking for clients during production use. Bay door for easy loading and deliveries.
