KDC and Hugs Café Inc. have broken ground on a new headquarters and training academy in McKinney, Texas. The 13,500-square-foot, two-story facility will serve as the new home for Hugs Café, a nonprofit social enterprise that provides training and employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Located at 221 Andrews Street, the new space will include a state-of-the-art training academy and kitchen, four classrooms, a rooftop deck, patio, administrative offices, and collaborative work areas. The building is designed to support all four of Hugs Café Inc.’s core programs: Hugs Café, Hugs Greenhouse, Hugs Home Cooking, and Hugs Training Academy.
KDC is proud to support Hugs Café through its KDC Cares Program, which provides both development services and financial support to nonprofits making a meaningful difference. The new headquarters is expected to open in summer 2026 and will help further Hugs Café’s mission of creating a more inclusive and empowered workforce in the community.
