testimonials

"Hands down the best coworking spot in Lancaster, and possibly Central PA altogether! Leadership is welcoming and professional, and the community is vibrant and diverse. Tons of member events and also a great spot for a day visit or out of towner to get some work done."

Marissa ~ Member Since 2018

"Great place to work from. Awesome people here doing a variety of really interesting things from startups to freelance. Six floors and media studio across the street."

Seth 

“The Candy Factory is nothing short of spectacular! If you're looking for a warm, inviting, flexible, and organized workspace; you've found your place. I've been a full-time TCF member for some time now, and this is by-far the best coworking space I've been a part of. The building is beautiful, clean, provides numerous office spaces, has tons of conference rooms, and can easily accommodate all of its members. The Candy Factory team goes above and beyond to ensure that every member feels welcomed, heard, and valued. Additionally, they put on a ton of programming that promotes collaboration, networking, and mentorship amongst TCF members. I have personally met some of the smartest and kindest people I know through TCF. This is an outstanding coworking space and I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could! Thank you TCF Team!!”

"This is hands-down one of the best communities in Lancaster."

Jo Davis 

"From my very first tour of the space I was blown away by the level of care, kindness and professionalism. The daily, weekly, monthly community activities are great for building strong business relationships and finding people with common interests and business intersectionality. My company has grown by 20% in sales from networking within the Candy Factory and I’ve taken advantage of many of their cross-promoting opportunities. I’m a big fan of coworking spaces, and this one gets it right. "

“Having worked in several coworking spaces during my career, I can confidently say that The Candy Factory has been my favourite by far! They have an amazing team that does stellar work every day to create a vibrant, welcoming community. There are daily events, talks and initiatives that help you to engage with the community and meet a ton of interesting people. The weekly Happy Hours don't hurt either! The facilities are also top notch with ample workspaces and excellent connectivity in a beautifully designed space . Highly recommend. Thank you TCF!”
