Finding a Kitchen and Space for Your Value-Added Food Business
“Finding a Kitchen and Space for Your Value-Added Food Business” is a live Zoom webinar on Monday, February 24 at 2pm. Join us for this webinar if you’re an entrepreneur looking for a shared-use kitchen or if you run a kitchen for which you’d like to find tenants. We’ll hear from Columbian Flavors owner Erly Barajas and Jackson Mankowski owner of The Porch, De Pere, WI, entrepreneurs who share a space and have used shared-use kitchens about their stories and challenges. We’ll also hear about the online directory of shared-use kitchens called The Kitchen Door.
Speakers:
Erly Barajas and Jackson Mankowski
Erly Barajas’ Columbian Flavors started out in a shared kitchen/restaurant in Green Bay’s On Broadway district, The Cannery. Jackson Mankowski’s The Porch is a bar specializing in mixed drinks and live entertainment. He also took a varied path to get his business to what it is today. The Porch subleases the kitchen to Columbian Flavors. Both business owners will tell us about their business history, experiences, and their arrangement to occupy the same bar/restaurant space in De Pere, The Porch (entertainment and drinks) and Columbian Flavors (food). An additional twist for the building, Comedy City’s rear theater exist is through The Porch, the hallway between them has the shared public restrooms.
