Testimonials
Lovely Ice Cream
“I based Lovely Ice Cream out of The Co+Kitchen for the first two and a half years of its existence. We moved into our own space in Spring 2024, where I now have 27 employees in 2024 and a thriving retail business. Lovely wouldn’t be where it is today without The Co+Kitchen”
Al's Chimney Cakes
“As a newcomer to Canada, The Co+Kitchen helped me start my own business and quickly tap into the local tourism economy. I get to share my Czech heritage with the community and show visitors the multicultural vibe that Canada is famous for.”
Da Luigi
“The Co+Kitchen has played a big role in my business’s success. Having access to the quality equipment that I need while I produce, lets me make small batches efficiently. This allows me to adjust my production volume according to my customers needs. Innovation is really important to the Da Luigi Gourmet brand, and The Co+Kitchen is a great space to bring those ideas to life.”
Gabby's Bakery
“I started my business with the vision of providing safe and tasty treats to people who had dietary restrictions, something that I used to struggle with before I started to bake. I am mainly catering to people who eat gluten-free and dairy-free, but I also offer vegan, nut-free, corn-free, sugar-free options as well, among other things. The Co+Kitchen and its safe food spaces help to make my business vision a reality.”
Canmore Organic Chef - George Bayne
“A massive thank you to The Co+Kitchen for hosting my cooking classes and dinner parties, they are professionally facilitated, equipped with gorgeous views The Co+Kitchen (Ed and Yuka) are the perfect partners to host any occasion.”
Bow Valley Empanadas
“Having grown up in the Bow Valley, I always knew that launching my own food business would be a challenge. Resources are constrained and the competition is strong, making it extremely difficult to cover the costs. I tried renting various kitchen spaces around the Bow Valley and even worked out of a restaurant kitchen in the middle of the night. The Co+Kitchen provides me with the affordable space I need to make my business viable.”
No Se Llama - Yerba Mate
“We have been a part of The Co+Kitchen since the beginning, and in many ways, our businesses have evolved together. Now we are laser-focused on scaling and growing our most popular product, Yerba Mate. To do that we are renting downstairs Co+Kitchen space on a permanent basis, with an eye to expanding our footprint down the road. We’re happy to continue No Se Llama’s journey alongside Ed and Yuka”
Bow Valley Microgreens
“I was already growing microgreens when I got the opportunity to expand at The Co+Kitchen, and it made all the difference. What started as a small-scale project turned into a year-round business, allowing me to supply fresh, locally grown ingredients to restaurants through Bow Valley Microgreens. Having access to a larger space has been key to making this possible, transforming my seasonal work into a full-time venture.”
