Gonvick Community Commercial Kitchen Request For Proposal

We are excited about the amazing business opportunities that our new commercial kitchen space offers area residents at the Clear Waters Life Center in Gonvick. This Request for Proposal (RFP) is seeking individuals with viable ideas for use of the space. It could be using the space on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis. Breads, pies, cakes, or specialty meals to cater out or serve on site are just a few possibilities. Dare to dream, and we will see what comes together!

Community commercial kitchens available for rent to members of the public are a relatively new phenomenon. These kitchens are often used as incubation facilities for beginning food entrepreneurs like caterers, product manufacturers, or food truck operators. It may also be a means for local farmers to add value to raw product in order to expand their marketing potential.

In order to formulate a workable plan, proposals are requested by April 1, 2016 to be in the initial scheduling round. After April 1 we will contact those who have submitted proposals to gather with other potential partners to see how schedules can be dovetailed to work together. Depending on open time slots, we will accept additional proposals.

Note: We are a family friendly, alcohol -free environment. When planning your proposal keep in mind we have spaces available to accommodate different size groups: Coffee Coop (30-36), Little Italy (20-24), Tuscany (50) and the gym (150-200)

Questions or to request a RFP form: Call the Clear Waters Life Center office at 218 -776-2789. Thanks for considering being part of our latest adventure. We look forward to seeing what will emerge!
