Come and talk to an expert and find out!
In this session, we’ll cover:
- Benefits of being a Hope & Main member
- Learn about cooking in our new West End Kitchens in Providence!
- How to Kickstart your food or beverage business this year
- Program costs and key state permitting requirements
- Your timeline and next steps
- And more!
