The Commercial Kitchen at Bear Butte Gardens

This commercial kitchen is available for rent! We are located just outside of Sturgis. Anyone can rent the kitchen - other small businesses, caterers, or friends/family/individuals who want to do some food preparation. Our kitchen is 16' x 24' (384 square feet). Kitchen rental is available 24x7.


We work closely with the South Dakota Department of Health to provide a safe and regulated environment equipped with brand new or like new appliances, e.g. commercial range, convection oven, large two-door cooler, large two-door freezer, prep tables, prep cooler, pizza oven, and other various equipment necessary for food processing and preparation.
