Stowmarket Innovation Gateway Café Opportunity

New Cafe in Stowmarket, Gateway 14
Exciting opportunity arises for an operator to run a café located within the newly established Stowmarket Innovation Gateway at Gateway 14, Stowmarket.
This café will cater to a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, businesses, and the general public, enhancing the collaborative environment of the facility.
The Stowmarket Innovation Gateway serves as a hub for business growth, training, upskilling, and innovation. It is being led by Mid Suffolk County Council and managed by Hethel Innovation. The centre provides essential support services and flexible workspaces aimed at enabling start-ups and SMEs to thrive. It is designed to foster innovation and facilitate the scaling of businesses, making it an ideal location for a café that serves a diverse clientele.
The facility will include office spaces specifically for high-growth start-ups, collaborative and innovative working areas, as well as meeting rooms. Importantly, the café will support tenants of the building and also conference visitors and the broader Gateway 14 community.
With a total of 44 office units and space for hot desks, the Innovation Gateway is set to become a bustling centre of activity. The café will encompass approximately 1,940 square feet. This will provide ample space to serve the needs of those working, training, and collaborating within the centre.
This lease opportunity will be available starting in Spring 2026. Both the council and the operator are keen to have the right occupier involved early on. Please get in touch with Hethel Innovation on 01953 859 100 or enquiries@hethelinnovation.com for more information.
