🌹 Operator reflects on closing after decade-long journey
Dana Berggren, a commercial real estate broker who opened The Coop coworking space in 2016 has Expand 👇 closed their second location after nearly a decade as an owner/operator in the flexible workspace industry. She describes coworking as a "labor of love" that helped many launch businesses and build relationships, but struggled with the management-intensive nature of the business. The closure comes in light of her accepting a position as eXp Commercial’s designated managing broker for Nevada and Tennessee, making it impossible to manage both careers effectively.
Despite ending this chapter, we thank her for a decade of community building and wish her all the best in her next adventure.

😯 Will someone please invite this author to cowork?
In this op-ed in the Guardian, the author shares her take on the issue of remote workers losing Expand 👇 their valuable cafe workspaces due to bad behavior from some laptop users. While acknowledging that cafe owners are justifiably frustrated by people who hog tables while spending little, the author proposes a code of conduct: limit stays to four hours with appropriate spending, never take calls, use the smallest table available, don’t ask for charging accommodations, and behave gratefully rather than entitled. The piece contends that cafes provide not only a pleasant work setting but also much-needed human connection for freelancers and remote workers who can’t afford coworking spaces.
For years now, TWIC editors have heard many complain about the cost of coworking spaces, but with a plethora of day pass apps and aggregators, there are more ways for users to access spaces on a short (and more affordable) term.
As for the note in the piece that all coworking spaces are filled with awful people – we implore the author to try out a few of the many MANY different spaces and coworking communities that are filled with some amazing people.

💎 Brand-focused approach offers premium strategy
A LinkedIn post shared by Paul Stanton has some great observations and makes a great point for Expand 👇 workspace operators. Equinox’s evolution from gym to luxury real estate illustrates a powerful model for flexible workspace operators to create higher-value businesses. By prioritizing emotional connection and community over physical space alone, coworking brands can transform from commodity office providers into lifestyle companies commanding premium prices. This strategy involves first establishing a distinctive feeling and community, then monetizing that loyalty through enhanced offerings, and finally separating brand operations from real estate ownership.
Workspace operators who embrace this approach can potentially escape price-per-square-foot comparisons and instead drive value through brand strength, programming that reduces turnover, and a sense of belonging that transcends location.
