HISTORY
With a passion for foodservice and a desire to support growing businesses, Christy and Charlie Schlafly founded STL Foodworks, a culinary incubator and shared kitchen space.
Developed by people who intimately know the food industry, we appreciate the value of having accessible, cost-effective means to scale up your operation in order to confidently meet the demands of your customers.
Maybe it’s fate that we can be found in the Central West End’s former St. Louis Shade and Hardware Co. space, which stands as a beacon symbolizing St. Louis’ historic spirit of bold creators and builders.
What inspires us most is seeing you thrive, and our hope is that you’ll find STL Foodworks a vital, reliable partner in paving your path to success.

OUR APPROACH
In a nutshell, our approach is to support our culinary community with a comprehensive, centralized solution that’s simple to use while being immensely valuable. We call it an incubator, but it’s so much more than that. For many small companies, it’s a lifeline. A path (of least resistance) to market.
We’ve experienced the hurdles that can derail expansion and innovation, which is why we’ve designed STL Foodworks to eliminate obstacles and make your life easier. You can remain solely focused on nurturing your business in a low-risk, high-reward environment.
From flexible facility access and rental options to thoughtful kitchen design and versatile professional space, we aim to be the most indispensable part of your food business journey.
