  • Amped Kitchens/L.A. Prep is a new concept in RENTAL wholesale food production space. It is a 56,000-SF facility offering 54 pre-approved wholesale production kitchens for lease to companies who have outgrown the hourly, incubator and home kitchens in which many producers start. By locating at L.A. Prep, growing producers have access to top-quality facilities that are on par with the major contract food manufacturers in the region. At L.A. Prep, smaller local producers can quickly and affordably make items that meet the high standards of top buyers.

    The project is the first of its kind in the nation. The sustainable building is an adaptive reuse of a 1940s warehouse complex, one block from the Metro Gold Line's Lincoln/Cypress Station. Amped Kitchens/L.A. Prep is the result of more than two year's work among developers Civic Enterprise; the L.A. County Department of Public Health, which regulates food production; and food business accelerator Food Centricity.
