My CF membership started as a way to get out of the house and work around other people, but today it’s my business lifeline. The community at The Candy Factory is warm and encouraging and instantly supportive. There’s so much genuine interest and good karma floating around that it’s easy to be inspired and empowered here. I swear there’s only 2 degrees of separation between me and any kind of business contact I could possibly need to advance my business. I can hunker-down in a conference room and crank out work, or set up in the main hall and soak up the positive energy that feeds a state of creative flow. It’s a great tribe to be part of — smart, motivated, kick-ass folks who appreciate each other!

Good Vibes Only at The Candy Factory, coworking in Lancaster!

Good Vibes Only at The Candy Factory, coworking in Lancaster!

Have you ever walked into a space and instantly felt relaxed? Felt the excitement in the air at an amusement park or a concert? Felt the heaviness of a somber historical site?

I’m a big believer in “vibes”, and in my opinion, everyone and everything has one. When I first set foot into the main hall of The Candy Factory, there was a definite vibe. The energy here is palpable. It’s alive and thriving. Even with the dark cloud of COVID hanging over our heads, you can still feel the indomitable spirit of possibility that courses through the veins of this building. If I lost you a bit with my metaphysical musings bear with me. There are actual cold hard facts that could explain this “phenomenon”. 

Jelly Bellies NOW OPEN

 We love our little munchkins, but we also understand the struggle all parents feel trying to juggle work and childcare. Sometimes you need a place to get work done, meet with a client, network, or just take a deep breath. That is why we are excited to announce jelly bellies, a supervised play facility located at The Candy Factory. Schedule a tour today!

Welcome Arianna

We’d like to welcome Arianna to The Candy Factory and The Sweet Core team as our Jelly Bellies supervisor and facilitator of fun!

She will be responsible for watching over and organizing fun activities for your kiddos.
