Help Build Store One’s Capacity
Investing in our Community…
The Store One Capacity Building Campaign for the renovation and furnishing of the Store One facility will help provide new economic opportunities and inspiration for small business startups in greatly underserved Orange County neighborhoods. Your investment in Store One will help create a more highly skilled local labor force, prepared for better paying and potentially life-changing culinary & hospitality industry jobs.
Facilities & Capabilities
In total, Store One will be a 12,393 square foot facility that includes four professional kitchen spaces that program participants can rent through a low-cost membership fee. Kitchen equipment, cold & dry storage, and back-of-house space will allow businesses to create and produce small-batch goods at a fraction of the cost of other rental spaces. The facility will also include two pop-up incubator spaces that will feature retail to the public and on-site dining.
Funding Objectives & Timeline
The City of Anaheim has heavily invested in the Store One project, spending $4.75 million to acquire the property and securing nearly $8.5 million in public funds for site improvements and building renovation. Capacity Building funds are needed for furnishings, fixtures and facility equipment as well as for developing the operational capacity of the organization.
To achieve a successful launch of operations and programs, the Store One Capacity Building Campaign was launched in partnership with the Anaheim Community Foundation to raise $8 million in support of capital costs and operations. In 2026, the Store One team reached the 50% fundraising milestone. With $4 million raised from private, philanthropic sources, our goal is to raise the remaining $4 million.
The Store One Capacity Building Campaign aims to allocate $5 million toward capital costs – including construction and furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E) – and $3 million toward operational capacity building.
