We’re excited to share that Highest Frequency Juice has joined us here at Lock 14 Kitchen!

Their commitment to fresh, intentional, high‑quality juice fits perfectly with the energy in our space!

Our kitchen keeps growing, our community keeps expanding, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome another amazing local business into the fold. Cheers to new partnerships and big momentum. 🥂

We're moving!!! For the last 4 years, we've been using the kitchen at the Spotlight theater!

Next week, we'll be moving into the Lock 14 Kitchen on river drive, Moline. Right next door to Milltown Coffee !

It's not a retail space, yet, but a group commissary kitchen for businesses like us to make all of the food and juice you know and love!

We are very excited to be in this new space soon!
