The next chapter of The Epicurean Trader.
Two new San Francisco locations, a reimagined Provisions Club, and our first-ever community investment round, planned through Regulation Crowdfunding on StartEngine.
At a glance
An established San Francisco business.
Retail shops, e-commerce and a large corporate gifting business, all run from one centralized warehouse, fulfillment and distribution team with room to grow.
Retail expansion
Two new locations came to us.
Both opportunities arrived in the past two months, and both are moving now. Our existing back end can supply new stores without a second facility.
Union Square, Powell Street
A new location in the heart of Union Square as part of the Powell Street Improvement Project, supported by a $500,000 grant we've been awarded.
Status: lease in reviewA major SF sports venue
One of San Francisco's major sports and entertainment venues approached us to open a full retail and on-premise location in a prime space near the entrance, with an attractive tenant improvement package.
Status: letter of intentProvisions Club
The Stitch Fix for gourmet food.
Provisions Club is our personalized pantry subscription. We launched the first version in late 2025 and are building version two now. It's a working prototype today at provisionsclub.com.

The raise
Our first community round.
We're in ongoing conversations with venture investors about a larger round in the future. So we can move on these expansion opportunities now, we're planning a smaller raise first, offered to our customers and community before anyone else.
All terms are preliminary and may change. Final terms will be set out in our Form C offering statement, and investments can only be made through StartEngine once it is filed. No terms have been agreed with any venture investor, and those discussions may not result in an investment.
Lead investors
We're looking for three to four lead investors.
Lead investors anchor the round when it opens on StartEngine. Investments of $25,000 or more are expected to qualify for our volume bonus.
