The potential closure of the test kitchen at the Cannery prompts consideration about its impact on the Green Bay Public Market and the necessity for restaurant mentorship. On Broadway's Executive Director, Brian Johnson, elucidates the disparities between the Cannery and the forthcoming Green Bay Public Market, emphasizing the ongoing need for programs supporting startup restaurants. Despite the imminent closure of the Cannery, which currently houses Colombian Foods and Five Thumbs Up, efforts are underway to secure alternative locations for these tenants. Johnson underscores the importance of providing them with suitable premises to continue their operations successfully. While acknowledging the challenges faced by the Cannery, Johnson assures that its setbacks will not hinder the development of the Green Bay Public Market, which boasts diverse programming and event spaces. However, he emphasizes the continued importance of fostering new restaurant ventures, suggesting that such endeavour's can complement the broader vision of the Green Bay Public Market. Despite attempts to reach out to the Chamber for further insights, no response has been received regarding the Cannery's challenges and strategies for overcoming them.
