With 56 private kitchens, a large shared kitchen, and co-working and multi-function space, The Hatchery will be well equipped to serve entrepreneurs in the food and beverage industry seeking commercial kitchen workspace and business coaching. Designed by Wight & Company, the 67,000-sf food incubator development in Chicago’s East Garfield Park neighborhood will also serve as the new headquarters for the nonprofit Accion Chicago, co-creator of The Hatchery. The organization will offer direct access to small business loans and support programs to tenants of the building and members of the community.
