Edward Kregar started his business by selling butter and eggs door-to-door by horse and buggy. In 1898, he opened a store in the 800 block of Wood Street, eventually moving the store to 900 Wood Street in 1908. Kregar operated in the store for over 50 years, becoming well-known for its nut breads and for carrying the best brands of food. As pictured in the 1943 news article from the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, people used to line up around the block to buy butter at Kregar's during WWII.
Through the years, 900 Wood Street has been the home to Standard Bank, National City Bank, a bakery, upstairs offices, a Subway Sandwich Shop, and currently 9Cafe. Take a Virtual Tour of 900 Wood

SpeakLife Poetry Café will be a café that caters to the artistic community. The Café will specialize in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, milkshakes, artisan pastries, coffee and teas. The Café will be run during the day, open for locals for leisurely coffee drinking and neighborhood workers for quick take out meals. In the evening, the cafe will transition to a Performance Space or will be available to rent. Speak Life Poetry Café will be multipurpose and will embrace artists, community residents, and all Pittsburghers.
Our overall strategies are three influential key success factors and activities that will contribute to the accomplishment of SpeakLife Poetry Café’s goals. These factors include: our ability to select the best location, keeping variable and overhead expenses as low as possible, and building high market visibility through brand building and advertising.
The Performance Space will highlight open mics, artist release parties, poetry events, and much more to the nightlife experience. Our menu will be available during these events and also optionally for the rentals. There will be an affordable fee that includes a resident sound engineer to cater to their artistic needs. We will also book touring Artists to come and perform as well. We are a lively Wilkinsburg event space that is inclusive and welcoming to the whole city.
