ABOUT US
Hope & Main is Rhode Island’s premier culinary incubator. Founded in Warren, RI in 2014, our members have launched over 450 food and beverage businesses. Our mission is to empower an inclusive community of entrepreneurs to jumpstart and cultivate thriving food businesses that are the foundation of a more just, sustainable and resilient local food economy.
IMPACT
For the past decade, Hope & Main has been breaking down barriers for food entrepreneurs of all means and backgrounds, giving them the tools and space to turn their dreams into thriving businesses. Since opening Rhode Island’s first shared-use kitchens in Warren in 2014, we've helped launch 500+ food businesses—60% women-owned and 40% owned by founders of color. We are an engine of inclusive economic development, and today, one in four new packaged food businesses in Rhode Island gets its start at Hope & Main!
