The Reh-Fit Centre is a medical fitness facility that is home to 3,000 members located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Reh-Fit Centre is interested in partnering with an individual or established restaurant to operate the Café space and offer a creative, health conscious, delicious menu of fresh meals, smoothies, savory and sweet snacks while catering to a variety of dietary needs (gluten free, vegan, vegetarian etc.).

In this unique and exciting opportunity, many of the traditional barriers to entry faced by food entrepreneurs have been eliminated. The Reh-Fit Centre Café boasts a fully functioning commercial kitchen space, equipment and seating area. The Reh-Fit will provide utilities, exhaust, grease trap cleaning, equipment R&M, internet, and POS system. The chef will be responsible for hiring their own staff and have creative freedom with the menu within the parameters of the Reh-Fit Centre’s minimum requirements (as noted below).

As a not-for-profit organization, Reh-Fit will work collaboratively with the chef to establish a fair rent recovery model.

The Reh-Fit Centre also has an outdoor patio space and a teaching kitchen that can be made available to offer culinary teaching classes to members and may be used as additional kitchen space.
