CloudKitchens is moving forward with plans to brings its ghost kitchen operations to 2045-2065 W 8th Ave, right off the CanAm Highway, according to a permit filing obtained by What Now Denver this week.
When reached for comment regarding the upcoming location, CloudKitchens said it had a “no press policy.”
Well what is a ghost kitchen? Is it a kitchen ghosts use? Is it an apparition of a dead kitchen manifesting in this realm? It’s really not as spooky as it sounds.
Ghost kitchens are a relatively new concept that have gained popularity with the current pandemic. For a fraction of a cost of owning and operating a brick-and-mortar restaurant, you can cook your “restaurant food” in a rental “ghost” kitchen, to then deliver to your customers through one of the many third-party delivery apps like Grubhub or UberEats.
With food delivery gaining more and more popularity it seems like ghost kitchens are here to stay, but we at What Now Denver remain partial to the brick-and-mortar businesses livening our community.
