Nakia's Success Story
Nakia recently completed an incredible order of 400 cookies for an art auction at the Contemporary Dayton. She attributes her success to the support and facilities provided by the 6888 Kitchen:
“Hey foodie friends, this is a story all about how I made 400 cookies and I survived somehow. So I was commissioned back in April to do 400 cookies for an art auction for the Contemporary Dayton, which is an art gallery located in the Dayton Arcade if you are unaware. And if I've never mentioned before this moment, I am so grateful for 6888 Kitchen for two reasons. Because A, I was visible to this particular company because I was a member of the kitchen and that's how they even heard of me. And then secondarily, there's no way I would have been able to bake 400 cookies in my home kitchen in the time frame that I was allotted to do this.”
Nakia’s story exemplifies the transformative impact of the 6888 Kitchen on food entrepreneurs. The incubator not only provided her with the necessary space and equipment but also increased her visibility and opportunities.
The Impact of 6888 Kitchen
Nakia elaborates on the importance of the 6888 Kitchen for her business:
“I am excited about being a part of this project as it is not only historical, but instrumental for the growth of small food businesses, like mine. Being a food entrepreneur, there are so many obstacles when you don't have a hub. Having worked several years from my licensed home kitchen, and pop-up tent setups, this gives my business the structures needed to grow successfully. This kitchen will allow me to expand my menu, as well as have a place where my customers can find me.”
She highlights how the incubator has facilitated her growth and prepared her for future success:
“This opportunity is also preparing me for future success in my own brick & mortar destination. I'm immensely grateful to be an inaugural member of the 6888 Kitchen Incubator.”
