Meeting at Caribou Coffee in Roseville
A few of us met at the Caribou Coffee in Roseville and had some good discussions around whether or not the Coffee Shop CoWorking model had legs enough to stand on its own or was only an add-on to the traditional coworking space, a satellite office if you will. The Coffee Shop CoWorking Model is interesting because it addresses the two biggest problems with coworking. 1. Price and 2. Proximity.
Price is significantly lower due to the small footprint of the space (120 sq. ft. to 216 sq. ft.) and the fact that the space only holds 1 large table 8+ chairs, a wipe board and a multifunctional copy machine. This allows cost to be $25-$50 a month as opposed to $175-$400 a month.
Proximity, with the proliferation of coffee shops in every neighborhood there is bound to be a coffee shop, restaurant, bar or office complex from which the neighborhood could glean space.
Anywho, would love to hear peoples thoughts on the viability of the Coffee Shop CoWorking Space.
Thanks, Stephen Filing
