NEON Collective Kitchens Grand Opening

Celebrate a New Chapter for Northside Food Entrepreneurs at the NEON Collective Kitchens Grand Opening

Join Northside Economic Opportunity Network (NEON) as we celebrate the Grand Opening of NEON Collective Kitchens—a new shared commercial kitchen space designed to help food entrepreneurs Start, Grow + Thrive.

Built with community at the center, NEON Collective Kitchens was created to remove barriers to entry for emerging food businesses by providing access to the infrastructure entrepreneurs need most—commercial-grade equipment, prep space, storage, and flexible workstations in a professional, supportive environment.

More than a kitchen, this a place where ideas can grow into viable businesses; where ownership becomes more accessible; and where local entrepreneurs can build lasting economic opportunity for themselves and their communities.

Come Tour the Space and
Celebrate This Exciting Milestone for the Northside

!GRAND OPENING AND OPEN HOUSE
