I’ve spent years talking with entrepreneurs, small business owners, and e-commerce sellers — and no matter where they’re based, the conversation often leads back to the same challenges.

• “I’ve outgrown my home, but a full warehouse lease is just too much.”
• “My inventory is stacked in my living room, and it’s getting out of control.”
• “I need logistics support, but fulfillment centers are impersonal and expensive.”
• “I miss being around other entrepreneurs who get what I’m going through.”

Kansas City’s small business scene is thriving, but if you’ve ever tried to find space to grow, you already know the struggle. Traditional warehouse leases lock you into multi-year agreements. Co-working spaces are great, but they don’t solve storage and shipping challenges. And working from home? That’s a temporary fix — not a sustainable plan.

That’s why Elevator Co-Warehousing is expanding to North Kansas City.

For the first time, local business owners will have a flexible, scalable option — a space that combines the best of co-working and warehousing in one collaborative, logistics-friendly, and entrepreneur-powered community.

North Kansas City is Booming — But Growing Businesses Need Space

There’s no doubt about it — Kansas City is a great place to start a business. The region is affordable, well-connected, and packed with talented entrepreneurs.

Co-working spaces like Cubework, Spark Co-Working, CoWork Waldo, Hive CoWorking, and Trades CoWork have done an incredible job supporting remote workers, freelancers, and startup founders. But for product-based businesses, there’s always been a gap in the market.

Where do you go when:

• You’ve outgrown your garage but aren’t ready for a full warehouse lease?
• You need a professional space to meet clients — but also need storage for your products?
• You want access to shipping stations, loading docks, and logistical support without the overhead of a massive facility?

Until now, the only options were expensive warehouse leases, renting storage units, or making do at home.

Co-warehousing changes that.

What is Co-Warehousing, and Why is Kansas City Ready for It?

Co-warehousing is a new model of workspace designed for entrepreneurs who need more than just a desk. It combines office space, storage, and fulfillment capabilities, giving business owners a scalable solution that adapts to their growth.

At Elevator Kansas City, members get access to:

Flexible Warehouse Space — Only rent what you need. Expand as you grow.
Professional Workspaces — Meet clients in a professional setting instead of a coffee shop.
On-Site Logistics & Shipping Support — Streamline fulfillment with shipping stations, loading docks, and carrier pickups.
A Built-In Entrepreneurial Community — Surround yourself with other business owners scaling their operations.

This isn’t just another co-working space. It’s a workspace built for businesses that move products.

“Kansas City entrepreneurs have outgrown their home-based setups, but traditional warehouse leases are too risky. Co-warehousing gives them a smarter way to scale.” — Emiliano Lerda, Co-Founder & CEO, Elevator

Who is Co-Warehousing Perfect For?

Elevator isn’t for every business. But if space, logistics, and community are on your mind, it might be exactly what you need.

E-Commerce Brands & Online Sellers — If you’re running an Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy business, co-warehousing solves inventory storage and fulfillment challenges.

Subscription Box & Retail Startups — Pack and ship orders efficiently — without turning your home into a fulfillment center.

Small Businesses Looking for Space — Outgrown your home? This is your next step before committing to a warehouse lease.

Service-Based Businesses with Physical Inventory — Event planners, photographers, food brands — if you need both workspace and storage, this is for you.

Entrepreneurs Who Want More Than Just a Desk — If you miss the collaborative energy of a startup scene, Elevator provides a built-in network of ambitious business owners.

For years, Kansas City’s entrepreneurs didn’t have an option like this. Now, they do.

The Future of Business in Kansas City is About Flexibility

Business is unpredictable. What works today might not work tomorrow. That’s why flexibility is the name of the game.

Unlike traditional leases, Elevator gives business owners the ability to adjust their space as they grow. Need more room? Scale up. Need to pivot? Scale down. No wasted space. No wasted money.

And just as importantly, it’s a space where entrepreneurs thrive.

No more working alone at home.
No more isolating yourself from a supportive network.
No more scrambling for shipping solutions, fulfillment support, or last-minute storage fixes.

This is Kansas City’s moment. The city’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is growing fast, and co-warehousing is the missing piece.
