Unleash Your Culinary Creativity at Pasco Specialty Kitchen's Pass-Through Windows

Are you a culinary entrepreneur ready to elevate your business? The Pasco Specialty Kitchen (PSK), a dynamic hub for local food innovators, now offers vendors the chance to utilize its highly sought-after pass-through windows. Since 2003, PSK has been a cornerstone for food businesses in Pasco, providing the tools and support needed to grow and thrive in the community.
Imagine your delicious creations being just a step away from eager customers, thanks to PSK's prime location right across from Peanuts Park and the Pasco Farmers Market. That’s exactly what Justin Tjarks, owner of Pie Sharks, discovered when he moved his mini-pie business to PSK in early 2024. After starting his business at a different location, Tjarks found that PSK's pass-through window offered a unique opportunity to expand his reach.

"It's my own space, and it's got a window that faces the street right across from the Farmers Market every Saturday, so there's that guaranteed foot traffic," says Tjarks. He’s also seen a shift in the type of orders coming in. “Since I've been here at the window, I've been able to pick up some of those more large-scale, 24-pack orders to pick up through the window."

This could be your story, too! PSK's pass-through windows provide the perfect platform for local food entrepreneurs to connect directly with customers and grow their businesses in a supportive, community-oriented environment.
