Shared commercial kitchen Fork Food Lab has formed a partnership with the Sustainability Lab, which will keep the Portland, Maine, kitchen open, reports the Portland Press Herald. The Fork Food Lab is used by more than 30 startup food businesses. "Today, we're extremely happy to have found an excellent partner in the Sustainability Lab," Holstein said. "They have a history of helping the Greater Portland region food economy and align with our goal of Fork Food Lab being a hub for food entrepreneurship. We are confident they will bring back the programming and excitement that was present when Fork Food Lab opened."
Other shared kitchens in Maine have not had as much luck. Founders of The Sustainability Lab in Yarmouth are looking for a way to rescue the food lab, which was founded in 2016 and is used by more than 30 startup food businesses. Pilotworks, which operates three other shared commercial kitchens in New York, Dallas, and Chicago, also abruptly closed its 6,000-square-foot lab in September, according to the report. Full Story
