Ignite Foodservice Debuts Test Kitchen

Ignite Foodservice has debuted a state-of-the-art test kitchen in Denver. The manufacturers’ rep firm hosted a grand opening in June to mark the milestone.

Measuring 15,000 square feet, the test kitchen will serve as a hub for culinary creativity and collaboration. It includes a fully equipped back-of-house kitchen, a modern demo center, a full bar and a versatile event center. An expansive, open layout will support everything from live cooking demonstrations and hands-on workshops to industry networking events. Top-of-the-line AV technology will provide a seamless experience for presentations, trainings and livestreamed events.

Ignite dedicated the full bar to team member Russell Shupe.

“This space is more than just a kitchen—it’s a place where ideas come to life,” says Carl Kisner, president at Ignite, in the release. “It’s built for collaboration, for learning, and for bringing people together in meaningful ways.”

Ignite serves the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions.
