Two flex workspace franchises Office Evolution and Venture X have made Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 Franchise 500 ranking.

Office Evolution came in at #439 and Venture X at #455 (up from #463 in 2024). Office Evolution was also named #1 in the Coworking Spaces category. Vast Coworking‘s other brand Intelligent Office placed at #436 last year.

Bryce Hill shares that their Venture X + Office Evolution franchisee group have formed a partnership with Returned, a startup that helps enable drop-off returns.

The partnership gets members hassle-free returns for a growing roster of e-commerce brands. We always love seeing new kinds of member-benefits and perks being introduced into spaces.

Starting January 1, 2025, Denver Coworking LLC will unite 10 Office Evolution and two Venture X coworking locations, becoming the largest locally owned coworking network in Denver with over 225k sqft of workspace. This consolidation aims to offer a seamless coworking experience across the Denver metro area.

Fresh off the heels of the Vast Coworking + WeWork partnership announcement, we are witnessing a ripple effect of consolidation among operators of brands that are part of Vast’s portfolio. Will this lead to additional merging of brands and locations?

Evan Preslopsky, Senior Sales Manager at Venture X and Office Evolution chats with Jamie Russo about his unique path from fitness to coworking sales on the Everything Coworking podcast.

Office Evolution franchise owners Jon & Mary Jonz opened their second location in the St. Louis area, in Creve Coeur, expanding the number of businesses they can support to around 300. The new location will offer 50ish offices across 14k sqft.
