STOREHOUSE™ Flagship

A reimagined grocery model serving food deserts and building food sovereignty. Powered by local farmers. Storehouse formerly known as BAZAR, combines access, circular economy, and zero-waste logistics — restoring dignity through food and economic self-determination.

Community-Powered Access

The Bazar (Storehouse), is more than a grocery store — it’s a movement. Designed to restore food access in underserved communities, each Storehouse is powered by local farmers, shaped by community needs, and built to regenerate the local economy from the ground up.

Hands-On & Heart-Driven

Every Storehouse is an active community hub — with educational events, farmer-led tastings, cooking demos, and youth programs. It’s where local growers, chefs, families, and organizers all have a seat at the table

Use What the Community Already Has

We start with what’s already growing: community land, trusted farmers, local kitchens, and culturally meaningful foods. The Storehouse model uses these roots to create a fresh, zero-waste food ecosystem — without dependency on external supply chains.

Circular Economy in Action

Our model is tech-enabled and data-conscious — helping farmers track inventory, access markets, and build generational wealth. Real-time dashboards, direct farmer payments, and no middlemen. Just food, freedom, and fairness.

The Storehouse™

It doesn’t start with a product. It starts with a farmer.

Maybe you’re here to fight hunger.
Maybe you want to restore dignity to the food system.
Or maybe you’re ready to launch a business that feeds people and frees farmers from exploitation.

Whatever your reason — The Storehouse is where it takes root.

This isn’t just a vending-machine grocery store.
It’s a farmer-first, solar-powered, community-owned revolution.

We connect local growers directly to the shelf.
We power food trucks that serve meals made from real harvests.
We build ecosystems where farmers earn fairly, shoppers eat affordably, and profits stay in the neighborhood.

The Storehouse doesn’t just sell food —
It restores the relationship between the land, the grower, and the people.

This is not a trend. This is the future of food.
And it’s ready to grow where you are.

The Launch.

A New Kind of Grocery Store

Storehouse™ formerly known as (BAZAR), is where— community meets nourishment. It’s open to all but owned by the people who grow, eat, and share the food. Join us in transforming how communities feed themselves — with dignity and direction.

Each Storehouse is a vending machine grocery store, built for 24/7 access and stocked with locally grown produce, dry goods, and essentials. Members swipe a card, select what they need, and support local farmers in the process.

Outside, you'll find food trucks directly connected to the Storehouse — serving hot meals made with discounted ingredients from the vending system. Every food truck partner provides one free meal a day to K–12 students, turning hunger into hope.

And the entire system runs independently — no grid, no overhead, no compromise.

Each Storehouse is fully off-grid, powered by a solar-paneled rooftop and Tesla Powerwall battery wall packs, making it resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective for the communities it serves.

This isn’t a handout. It’s a handbuilt system — designed for dignity, powered by the sun, and rooted in soil.

Storehouse™ Models

One Vision. Many Footprints.

At Storehouse™, we believe that access to fresh, affordable food is a right, not a privilege — no matter where you live, study, commute, or rest your head at night.

That’s why we’ve developed a family of scalable, modular micro-store models to meet the needs of different communities. Each Storehouse™ is powered by local food systems, sponsored partnerships, and a dignity-first experience. From food deserts to university campuses, we meet people where they are — and serve with purpose.
