Big wins from our SAAGE kitchen family! There’s nothing more rewarding than watching entrepreneurs take an idea and turn it into something thriving. This weekend, we're proud to be celebrating two of our members' success stories, one current and one past:

🎉 UNIKOKO , a bubble tea and dessert shop, is celebrating her 2 year anniversary in her own brick-and-mortar. Building and sustaining a physical location is no small feat and this milestone speaks volumes about her dedication and vision.

(See first post for our other member story!)

Both of these incredible businesses started right here at SAAGE! They used our business launchpad and kitchen workspaces to test recipes, refine their products, and build the foundation for what they’ve become today. We’re immensely proud of them and happy to have played a small part in their journeys. And we're even more excited to see what’s next for both of them.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own food business, let this be your sign. It all starts small, but you have to start.

First up 🎉 Mom's Recipes has launched at a Painted Tree location! Today was her grand opening day. From early days in our shared kitchen, growing production and building a strong customer base, to taking the leap into leasing a retail front, this is exactly the kind of growth story we love to see.
