Hone Opens Its Doors: A Culinary Hub for Greenville’s Startup Community

Greenville’s startup scene just got a little tastier! Hone, a shared kitchen space and part of Village Launch, has officially opened, giving local food entrepreneurs the space, tools, and community they need to grow their businesses. For food founders, access to commercial-grade kitchen space can be a big hurdle, and Hone is here to change that.

Already, local brands are putting their creations in the spotlight. Coffee Coffee is fueling mornings with rich, specialty brews. Daylight Burrito is serving up breakfast and lunch that hits the spot. Tasti Plate is turning comfort food into something new and exciting. Muni Muni is crafting small-batch, artisanal treats that look as good as they taste. Lucy Anne’s is baking up sweet and savory goods that celebrate local flavors. Each founder brings something unique to the table, and Hone gives them the space to make it happen.

Hone is more than just a kitchen. It’s a place for collaboration, mentorship, and growth. Just like co-working spaces have been essential for tech startups, shared kitchens are becoming critical infrastructure for the food ecosystem in Greenville. By giving founders access to tools and resources that are otherwise expensive or hard to get, Hone helps them test new products, scale their operations, and connect with customers.

For Greenville, that means more than just new restaurants or packaged goods. It is about building a strong, sustainable ecosystem where creativity and entrepreneurship come together. Food startups often become hubs in their own right, supporting local suppliers, creating jobs, and energizing neighborhoods. As part of Village Launch, Hone is connected to an established network of support, mentorship, and resources that helps the next generation of culinary founders shape Greenville’s food scene.

With Hone open, Greenville’s startup community has a new reason to come together over coffee, burritos, baked goods, and a shared belief that food innovation deserves space to grow.
