Culinary Collective commercial kitchens were built to support Philadelphia’s thriving chef community.
Culinary Collective at the Arsenal is made up of two commissary kitchens next door to each other: BLDG38 (8,000 sq ft) and BLDG39 (5,500 sq ft)
We intentionally limit our capacity to 11 food operators in BLDG39 and 21 food operators in BLDG38 with no hourly or daily rental options to ensure a spacious and exclusive working environment for our members.
