Our Commitment
NEON Collective Kitchens is more than just a space for entrepreneurs to work on their business ideas - it is a place where the community can connect with other like-minded individuals, collaborate on projects, and access the resources they need to bring their ideas to life. By providing a high-level production facility, we are ensuring that entrepreneurs have access to the latest technologies and equipment, enabling them to produce high-quality products and services.
Our Journey
A belief in our community

Stay tuned—we plan to announce our anchor tenant restaurant partners soon, and can’t wait to welcome you to the grand opening!
