We Proudly Offer
Everything Your Operation Needs To Run.
Infrastructure built for food professionals — not hobbyists. Every format comes with the foundation to produce, sell, and grow.
Licensed Commercial Space
Fully permitted, health department compliant, and ready to use day one. No red tape. Just show up and cook.
Permits — We Got You
We handle your permits, for commercial kitchens and food stalls.
Pro Chef Equipment
All commercial kitchens come fully equipped. Food stall operators bring their own equipment or rent it from Co-Lab.
24/7 Secure Access

Lockable dry storage and a shared walk-in cooler. Your product stays secure between shifts — no hauling in and out.

Restaurant Space & The Studio
Need More Than A Stall?
A street-front restaurant at Bush and 4th, or a camera-ready studio kitchen.
The Restaurant Space is about 700 sq ft with its own storefront, private entrance and walk-in, connected to the market interior. It has no hot line.
The Studio has a hooded hot line and three overhead cameras feeding three TVs over a counter demo area, rented full-time or part-time.

Takeout Kitchen
One Kitchen. Two Revenue Streams.
On the Bush Street side of 4SM — the corner that catches foot traffic as Downtown Santa Ana picks up.
Channel 1
Ghost Kitchen Orders
DoorDash & Uber Eats
Channel 2
Walk-Up Pickup Window
Outside-facing, street-visible
Equipment included. No build-out required. If you're a delivery-first brand looking for a real address — or a concept that needs a low-overhead, high-visibility launch pad — this is worth a conversation.

A Community Of Operators
Renting Space Is The Start.
The real value is being in a building with people who are solving the same problems you are — sourcing, pricing, staffing, growth, all of it.
01
Founder Mixers
Regular events to connect with other operators, swap what's working, and find the collaborators you didn't know you needed.
02
Mentorship Access
Advice from people who've already done what you're trying to do. Not theory. Not a webinar from someone who's never run a kitchen.
03
Room To Grow
Start in a commercial kitchen. Once you have real customers and real food-service experience, talk to us about a full-time stall.
