TCD: Creating a Space for Food Entrepreneurs to Succeed

The eKitchen — an extension of Twin Cities Development’s (TCD) innovative eCenter — is  designed to give food entrepreneurs a leg up by providing an exceptional space to grow their hobby into a business. TCD aims to give startups every chance at success.

Entrepreneurs can access a quality commercial-grade space without the costs of a commercial location, which may be a barrier for start-up companies. The remodeled kitchen, located in the Northfield Apartments at 2350 Five Rocks Road, Gering, Nebraska, boasts new stoves with ovens, large prep spaces, and available storage if needed. Here, budding chefs are free to test their ideas and grow a customer base.

Tenants can lease space anywhere from a few hours to a week or longer. Choice and flexibility are what it’s all about. Additionally, there is access to office areas on site, and TCD offers coaching as well as other readiness tools and resources through its eCenter located at 1620 Broadway in Scottsbluff.

TCD eKitchen Resources:

• Training Workshops: Hosted by WNCC & Chamber of Commerce
• Startup Resources: Writing a Business Plan, Short and Long Range Projections, Budgeting, and Incubation Metrics
• Aid in connecting with Angel Investors, Venture Capitalist Firms, and Traditional Funding (REAP, PADD, NBDC)
• Mentorship & Professional Strategic Sources
• Business Innovation Networking
