With affordable rental, certified kitchens and access to training programmes, DARe is looking to help emerging F&B businesses establish their brands.
Darussalam Enterprise’s (DARe) revamped Kontena Park officially opened in Anggerek Desa yesterday as an affordable incubation space for nine new local food and beverage (F&B) brands to gain exposure and experience operating within a commercial facility.
The re-designed Kontena Park is made up of eight, 6.1 metre square container units in a row which serve as the front service area, each with its own 6.5 metre square extension housing a certified kitchen in the rear. A new shaded seating area with fans has also been added, along with free WiFi for customers.
Executive Officer at DARe Khairul Azmi said the residing businesses had been offered a one year tenancy at a rental of $350 monthly, with a view of helping them ready their expansion for the wider market as homegrown F&B brands who could potentially establish retail chains or franchises.
“As an incubation space for locally-owned, locally-run F&B businesses, we will be helping out the tenants by monitoring sales, overall traffic, to see what strategies can be taken for improvement,” said Khairul. “They will also have access to DARe’s ecosystem which includes training programmes, workshops and financing.”
