ANC Incubator Kitchens Program Tours

It’s wonderful to hear you are interested in the Incubator Kitchen Program here at Allen Neighborhood Center!

Our program is built with growth in mind, and our Makers are required to actively participate in a curriculum designed to help their businesses move out of the shared-use space as they expand. During your tour, you'll be able to speak with our facilities manager to determine whether our program is a good fit for your business and needs, and they can answer any questions you might have.

Please review the program curriculum requirements and LEAP TrekHub resources available on our website at allenneighborhoodcenter.org/kitchens prior to scheduling your tour.

If you do not already have a Business Plan, please consider completing this step before signing up for a tour. We do require new entrepreneurs to submit a Business Plan when they enroll in our Incubator Kitchens Program. You can schedule a free appointment to receive support writing your business plan at the Small Business Development Center on Lansing Community College's campus at michigansbdc.org.

Our kitchens are the production site for over 30 active and licensed food businesses. We have licenses with both MDARD and Ingham County for our kitchen facilities, and follow safe operating practices and guidelines to maintain these. The kitchens cannot be rented for production without enrolling your business in and actively participating with our entrepreneurial Incubator program and licensing with our facility.

Some parking is available in the lot on site at the Allen Neighborhood Center, overflow parking can be directed to the surrounding streets.
