It’s the ambiance as much as the food that makes lunch fun at Commonwealth Financial Network. The financial services company provides employees themed kitchen areas, where they can break away from their desks and socialize with colleagues.
On the first floor, there’s Pete’s Diner, named after the company’s president, Peter Wheeler. That kitchen has diner booths, spinning stools, a jukebox, and vintage straw dispensers.
Up on the second floor, employees can hang ten in the surf-themed kitchen, where surfboards hang from the ceiling and floor tiles resemble pebbles and sand.
The kitchen is painted an ocean-blue hue, and about 50 pairs of flip-flops decorate the room. Plus, there’s a wall-size fish tank filled with blowfish and “Finding Nemo’’ look-alikes.
