A Growing Group of Hardworking Humans

We’ve had X+ Preppies come through our doors. Some stay for years, some for a season — all of them put in the work, made good food, and added something special to the space.

Success Stories & Alumni: People Who Started Small and Kept Going

Brands like BAK’D began here with simple goals: make something good, figure things out, and see where it goes.

These stories are honest snapshots of what building a food business looks like — progress, setbacks, and steady wins.

  • If you are looking for a spacious, clean and organized commissary kitchen that is in a central location, YVR PREP is for you. We have been renting their space for 5 and a half years now, the thing we love the most about this place is everyone is super friendly and supportive. This is definitely a good place to start your side hustle 👍.
    - Bowie R. of eF & Be Bakehouse
  • No one manages shared commissary kitchen space as well as this team! The management team carefully consider the needs of their members and are truly invested in the success of small food businesses and manufacturers. I’ve recommended this space many times with total confidence in the amazing service they offer.
    - Natalie Ferrari-Morton, Founder, East Van Jam
  • Great service, very organized and most cleaned commissary kitchen in greater Vancouver - management on top of everything all the time :)
    - Nick H. of Le Chef
  • I can't say enough good words about how satisfied I am with YVR prep and how it helped me to expand my food business (Bon Moment event catering). Clean and well managed kitchen, full array of cooking equipment, central location within a minute drive to Costco, co-working space for meetings, and a bonus dishwashing service, just to name a few. If you are ready to take the next step into growing your food business, I highly recommend YVR prep!

  • We have been at YVR Prep for several years now and have nothing but good things to say. They have helped us grow and network with other businesses, help build our brand and expand into new markets. If you are in need of commercial kitchen space this is the place to be.
    - Paula B. of Fume-eh Gourmet
  • We were at YVR PREP for 4 years and it was great. We love the three owners and the operations manager. They really try their best to support new and small business owners. I’ve recommended YVR PREP to many people!
