“I absolutely love working out of the RCBC culinary kitchens in Mount Holly,” Fehder said. “The facilities are clean, organized and of the highest quality. It is a luxury to have a three-compartment sink and full working dishwashing machine. The convection oven is accurate and efficient, and the physical workspace is plentiful. As a new business or culinary entrepreneur, it is a great option to utilize a full commercial kitchen without having to invest in purchasing one.”
