What is coworking in Lancaster?
The Candy Factory is a coworking space established in 2010 and located in the heart of Downtown Lancaster PA. We are a community of professionals who have found a new way to work. Coworking and shared workspaces help promote business growth, creative thinking, shared brilliance and collaboration while offering an affordable office solution for small businesses, freelancers, remote workers, and non-profits. The open space concept we provide offers up many advantages, from networking and collaboration opportunities to easy access to shared resources.

Our Mission
Our mission is to foster community and help spur the growth of small businesses in and around Lancaster by offering the resources and support needed to encourage that growth. Drawing members from within the city but also from around the county and beyond, our community is a diverse pool of professionals from all backgrounds.
We think outside of the traditional office space, We Share, We Gather, We Imagine, We Create, We Thrive! We COWORK!
Join Our Community!
Our memberships allow you to grow your business without the large overhead of a traditional office while giving you access to a professional network, that is, our wonderful community. We also offer you resources and provide key elements you need to get work done, allowing you to focus on your business and its growth. We provide space for workshops and classes as well as opportunities to network with the coworking community.

All members are added to our member directory online and Members have access to events, networking opportunities and also receive discounts to classes and programs.
What Coworking mean to us:
Coworking (no hyphen please) has always meant community to me and for the past eight
Our people are what makes us so unique, and the community is our greatest asset, not our space. While we work hard to provide resources like a cool inspiring place to gather and work, we make sure our focus is also on making an impact on the lives of our internal and external community. As a community hub, we work hard to offer relevant resources, access to events, and opportunities for connections to be made.
So when you’re searching for that perfect “office” or perfect “network” why not consider combining the two and do something truly amazing for yourself and your business. Consider joining a coworking community! If you take the time to engage and you’re open to the concept, I promise it will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made.
The Candy Factory is a community of 200 + incredibly talented professionals, housed in a beautiful old warehouse in Lancaster City. Not only will you get work done, you’ll meet some truly inspiring people.
Want to see it all for yourself and meet some cool folks? Click here to schedule a tour today and we’ll be happy to introduce you to our community.
