"A downtown cloud-kitchen complex at 333 W. St. Louis Avenue, Lucky 3 houses more than a dozen small restaurant brands that rent communal kitchen space where customers order through delivery apps or pick up at the front desk. Haggag rented a roughly 200-square-foot spot there, paying about $3,800 for rent, services, and utilities, and had hoped the shared facility would provide marketing leverage; instead, she found that prospective customers and regulars did not know where she was, contributing to a sharp drop in sales." - Janna Karel
