Penwells plan to open the Hatchery, an event and lodging destination in Shelby

SHELBY – Jake and Lauren Penwell plan to bring new life to a piece of Shelby's history. The owners of Penwell Funeral Home are creating the Hatchery, an event and lodging destination, at 170 W. Main Street, next to their existing business. The Hatchery is both a personal investment in their hometown and a tribute to its rich heritage. The project has been crafted for connection. "As a lifelong Shelby resident, we're proud to invest in the future of our community," Jake Penwell said in a news release. "We believe in the future Shelby and we're excited to help create a space where people can come together and celebrate life's moments. The future is bright." The Hatchery will feature two main components: ● An event space housed within the historic Shelby Hatchery, a community landmark that played a key role in the 1930s and operated for many years. The new event space will be able to host gatherings of up to 150 guests. ● A beautifully restored seven-bedroom home, originally built in 1897 by David Cockley, then-president of Ohio Steel Tube, now known as ArcelorMittal. The home will sleep up to 14 people and provide comfortable accommodations for event guests or weekend visitors. The Penwells say the Hatchery will offer a setting that blends heritage, hospitality and thoughtful design for weddings, corporate retreats, family celebrations or just a relaxing stay. "The Hatchery is designed with purpose: to be warm, welcoming and deeply personal," Lauren Penwell said. "We want guests to feel at home the moment they walk through the doors, whether they're hosting an event or enjoying a peaceful weekend away." The Hatchery is expected to open in early 2026, with additional details and booking information to be shared soon.
