Help Aurora Centro relocate and thrive

Ciao amici,

We need your help to relocate Aurora Centro!

After a Summer downtown at Salesforce park, we're onto the next chapter.

Over the course of the three months spent on the 5th floor of the Salesforce Tower we have accrued a solid ranking on Yelp, Google, stellar reviews from the SF Chronicle, SF Standard , and a loyal customer base.

Although it wasn't what we had imagined, the stars haven't quite aligned for us to stay downtown, and we're getting ready to make moves and keep growing.

Oct 31st will be our last day down at Salesforce Park.

Now, the silver lining: both OEWD and SF New Deal are going the extra mile to help us with a soft landing, and with their help we have been looking at a couple of properties.

After 3 weeks of negotiations we are proud to announce that our new location will be at 302 Valencia. It’s the ideal space, and it will allow us to further build on what we have created downtown.

However, there are immediate costs that are quite difficult for us to cover so quickly; namely the relocation costs, a couple of months of rent advance, new furniture, a few renovations, a few key pieces of equipment + lighting, and overall having a little buffer for a few weeks before we can re-open officially.

We opened Aurora Centro in record time, and we are now committed to a steadfast effort to open the new space as quickly as possible. It's a real challenge, especially for a small business. For that, we are looking to cover at least $25/30K to move in and be ready for prom.

Same team, same positive attitude, plus a few extra juicy details we have in mind for our next iteration that we're not spilling over yet. Expect a real vibrant living room for everyone, Aurora style. For that, we have changed the name to Studio Aurora, to better convey the spirit of a space that will encompass food, music, and art. Onwards!

We could use all your help. I appreciate you all. GRAZIE!
