Lewiston-Auburn Community Market
A Multicultural Hub for Food, Community, and Opportunity — Coming Soon to Downtown Lewiston-Auburn
The Lewiston-Auburn Community Market (LACM) is more than just a market — it’s a movement. Rooted in the heart of downtown, LACM brings together people of all backgrounds to grow a more connected, vibrant, and resilient community.
Our Vision
What We Will Offer
Retail Grocery Store
A multicultural marketplace offering fresh, local, and culturally diverse foods — sourced from local farmers, producers, and suppliers who reflect the rich diversity of Lewiston-Auburn.
Commercial Kitchen
Affordable, state-of-the-art kitchen space for food entrepreneurs, caterers, and small-scale producers to grow their businesses, create jobs, and share their culinary heritage.
Community Food Storage
Accessible, shared cold and dry storage for community members, producers, and small food businesses — supporting food sovereignty and reducing waste.
Event & Flex Space
A vibrant venue for workshops, community gatherings, pop-ups, cultural celebrations, and more. Open to all who want to share, learn, and build together.
Help Us Build the Lewiston-Auburn Community Market
We are turning our vision into reality — and we need your help to take the next big step.
LACM has purchased the former police station building in downtown Lewiston and has plans underway to safely and responsibly demolish it and transform the location into a vibrant, community-owned marketplace and cultural hub designed for everyone in our community.
