Exciting Developments at Centre Kitchen Collective!
Nestled in the heart of Pine Grove Mills stands a piece of history, waiting to be revitalized. We're thrilled to announce that we're breathing new life into an old retail store dating back to the 1850s.
Our vision?
To transform this historic gem into a bustling hub of culinary creativity and community connection.
In collaboration with Centre Markets LLC, a beacon of local food advocacy, we're paving the way for a vibrant local food retail store to grace the storefront of our cherished building.
Our Phase 1, the retail component and business incubator is set to open its doors in the Fall of 2024, promises to be a cornerstone of our commitment to supporting local farmers and producers while delighting the taste buds of our community.
But that's just the beginning.
Here's a glimpse of what's in store as part of Phase 2, coming in early 2025.
