Go Global Awards: Tour of Hope & Main

(To register for this tour you must be a Go Global Awards 2023 attendee. If you have any questions please email martha@makefoodyourbusiness.org)

Hope & Main is Rhode Island’s premier culinary incubator. Our 1915 school building was retrofitted to hold 4 commercial production kitchens where now more than 25% of new food businesses begin. We help entrepreneurs get licensed and permitted, solidify their recipes, branding, and funding so they can sell at markets and grocery stores all over New England and the Country!

Sign up to visit our facility on the tour. The tour holds 25 and begins at 10am.

First, we’ll take a beautiful 25 minute ride down the shores of the Providence River and the start of the Narragansett Bay to the small town of Warren RI. You’ll get a tour of our headquarters, event spaces, and commissary kitchens here. You can meet member business and Hope & Main staff.

Next, we’ll  drive into Providence where you will visit our Downtown Makers Marketplace. This is a cafe and marketplace featuring predominantly Hope & Main member made products! You’ll have a chance to enjoy a meal and product samples at the cafe.

We’ll have you back to the Omni between 1-2pm.

We hope you’ll join us and discover what’s new in local Rhode Island food and drink.
