24 Hour Kitchens, a bakery-only commissary kitchen in Folsom, is closing later this month. However, a similar concept is already lined up to take over the space and go straight into operations. Yasi Catering, an Iranian and Afghan catering business, will officially occupy the space and begin operations in April. This news was first reported by Sacramento Business Journal.
Located at 13405 Folsom Blvd., Suite 910, the kitchen space is largely turnkey and ready for another similar concept to take over. According to the Business Journal, all equipment at the Folsom site was sold to the new business, including three stations, convection ovens, storage spaces, a walk-in refrigerator and freezer, and two prep areas that previously were rented out to caterers by the hour.
Sarah Najafi is the genius mind behind Yasi Catering. According to the catering service’s website, the business offers “the best Iranian and Afghan foods.” Its menu includes traditional items such as zereshkpolo ba morgh, loobia polo, and joojeh kabab ba polo.
“We are more than capable of catering to a wide range of events and sizes of groups, from feeding hundreds of guests to table-side service for an intimate dinner party with some of your closest friends — and everything in between!” The business states on its website.
Najafi told the Business Journal that she would inherit some of the 24 Hour Kitchens’ clients and planned to begin operations right away. Najafi also plans to add more catering services once she installs the new hood system, most likely in two to three months. Najafi was not available for comments at the time of this coverage.
