The Downtown Makers Marketplace is designed to showcase the hundreds of small food
businesses—both new and iconic— launched through Hope & Main’s innovative culinary
incubator. This venue creates opportunities for consumers to meet hyper-local entrepreneurs
and taste their products thus supporting the local Foodieconomy!

Hope & Main is Rhode Island’s premier culinary incubator. Founded in Warren, RI in 2014, our
members have launched over 450 food and beverage businesses. Our mission is to empower an
inclusive community of entrepreneurs to jumpstart and cultivate thriving food businesses that
are the foundation of a more just, sustainable and resilient local food economy.

SCHASTEÂ (shass-tee-ah) is happiness, an experience of lighthearted contentment or joy.
In a world driven by productivity, we live in a hyper-stimulated state consumed by what is
“next”. Our tea blends are crafted to inspire a healthier pace and facilitate a more mindful being.
Schasteâ is your escape around the corner.
