​
Philly born and bred, Gather is more than just a food hub—it's a celebration of people, culture and culinary arts. Serving delectable dishes from local food entrepreneurs, we offer an array of options from breakfast to dinner, catering to every palate and pocket.
Whether you're a student looking for a taste of home, an aspiring chef showcasing your talent, or simply wanting to taste the eclectic flavors of Philly, Gather is your culinary playground.

Core values
At Gather, service is at our core. Whether it’s providing a welcoming and delectable experience for our diners or creating a growth platform for our vendors. We pair emerging culinary talents with experienced chefs and mentors to provide guidance on both culinary skills and business acumen, nurturing their growth. This unique mentorship aims to offer guidance in both culinary and business aspects, propelling them toward professional success and growth.
We believe that no student should ever have to choose between their education and a meal. Our shame free pay-what-you-can approach ensures no student leaves with an empty stomach, and for those who might need a bit more help, our voucher system is there to lend a hand. While we have a special spot in our heart for students, our doors are open wide to everyone in the neighborhood.
BEGINNINGS
In 2020 LGC launched a pilot food hall and created an accessible brand identity to combat rising levels of food insecurity among students led by lifestyle and community. Equally weighted messaging that incorporates social impact as a standard foundation for just a cool place to be.
​
We connected students and rising Black and Brown food entrepreneurs to a welcoming community spot with access to local foods at affordable prices. Subsidies were made available to students who request them via a custom, digital payment system.
