Kitchen Hub Is Set to Open Third Flagship Location in Toronto

— February 22, 2022 — Business
Kitchen Hub, a leading Canadian virtual food hall, will be expanding its business operations with the launch of its third flagship location in Toronto's Castlefield design district. The custom-built, 10,000 square-foot facility is set to open in two weeks' time, where it will house an impressive 13 kitchens. Now, a far greater number of Torontonians will have the opportunity to enjoy the brand's unique "ghost kitchen" platform, which allows users to order takeout meals from premium restaurants throughout the city, such as Pai and Piano Piano.

For those unfamiliar, Kitchen Hub was founded in 2020 to provide time-poor city dwellers with a new platform for ordering high-quality food quickly and conveniently. In addition, the company looked to provide Torontonians living in surrounding neighborhoods with access to top-tier downtown restaurants that would otherwise be unviable to them via takeout.

What makes the platform so unique, however, is that it offers users the chance to mix and match food items from different restaurants, all in one order. Since its launch, the company has grown at an exponential pace; in fact, this past December, Kitchen Hub announced that it had secured $9M (CAD) in funding from major investors, part of which has gone towards the brand's new and exciting Castlefield expansion.
