Some states I have not found places for commercial kitchens yet in my research. Yes, most have waiting lists if they have rentals at all.
Will lists the states as I find them.

katy625, I ran across the same problem on this, this is a name of a program in TX. I have forward a message to them for more information for contacting direct since mine also was not connecting to anything in the area of kitchen rentals. This list was made by another party on commerical kitchen rentals across the US; so I have also contacted that person to clear up the matter of contacting information. Whenever I hear something back, I will post it.

click on "incubator"

More possible contacts in different states. May be able to direct the person from that state to a kitchen source.
