Hatch Kitchen RVA - coming soon to Siteworks
With Richmond's food scene growing rapidly, many food/bev entrepreneurs across the region are looking for a home where they can start up and scale their businesses - and they've settled on Clopton Siteworks.
Following in the footsteps of successful models like Union Kitchen in DC and La Cocina in San Francisco, Hatch Kitchen RVA will provide a 9,000 sqft food-safe kitchen facility with shared high-end commercial equipment and cold storage, as well as a supportive environment of industry mentors and entrepreneurial support. At full capacity, Hatch is designed to house over 30 local food businesses in its 24/7 facility in Clopton Siteworks. Expansion plans include the adjacent "Hatch Cafe", giving Hatch members a retail sales opportunity while also bringing cafe service to the Clopton community.
The first members, including anchor tenant Nightingale Ice Cream, will start producing out of the space in early August. Membership applications are now open at Hatch Kitchen's website.
