Amped Kitchens

Amped Kitchens (formerly known as L.A. Prep) provides permit-ready, private commercial kitchen spaces for food manufacturers in the Chicago and Los Angeles markets. Each kitchen is rented to just one tenant, with options ranging from 150 square feet to 4,500 square feet. The offering includes commercial kitchens, commissary kitchens, CPG production kitchens, pilot production and test kitchens, gluten-free kitchens, and meal delivery kitchens.

As of February 2022, Amped Kitchens had three fully-owned locations across Chicago, LA North, and LA South. The Chicago location is a former factory that has been converted into a multi-tenant food production space with 64 commercial kitchen units for rent. The LA North and LA South facilities each feature 62 food production spaces. The company’s tenants include 27 national, regional, and local food companies in consumer packaged goods and the retail and restaurant sector, including Beyond Meat, Halo Top, Applebee’s, and others. Amped Kitchens charges its tenants USD 1,850 per month for entry-level spaces, with costs growing based on the size of the space and in-room amenities.
