TL;DR
Office Evolution has opened its second franchise location in the greater Atlanta area, providing co-working space and virtual offices to independent professionals and small business owners. The new location is in Dunwoody, Georgia, and is part of five planned locations in the area.
Office Evolution, a co-working space franchise that provides executive suites, flexible office spaces and virtual offices to independent professionals and small business owners nationwide, is proud to announce its newest location opening in Dunwoody, Georgia — the second of five planned for the greater Atlanta area. Office Evolution co-owner and area director Andy Bean opened his first location in Alpharetta earlier this year and is eager to get this second space up-and-running.
“The small business community in the Atlanta region is thriving, and we’re thrilled to be able to support its continued growth,” said Bean. “While our first location in Alpharetta has only been open for a few months, it’s already running at 50 percent capacity. This is a true testament of the need for shared office spaces for budding entrepreneurs in the market.
The nearly 7,000-square-foot center, located minutes away from the Perimeter Mall at 56 Perimeter Center E, Suite 150 in Dunwoody, is near numerous restaurants and hotels and is easily accessible to I-285 and Georgia 400. The first-floor center, part of a six-story mixed-use building, will offer small businesses and entrepreneurs professional on-demand office space with 24/7 access to all of Office Evolution’s locations nationwide. Members can choose from several packages including hourly, daily, month-to-month and long-term rentals.
These packages include mailing and telephone answering services as well as free on-site parking.
The first-floor center offers 24 private furnished offices, a community kitchen and a co-working business lounge with seating for dozens of people. The space also has two conference rooms available that can accommodate between six and sixteen people.
While the soft opening is slated for Friday, September 7, 2018, a grand opening event will follow on November 14, 2018. “We’re excited to stem off of the success we’ve seen so far with this opening in Dunwoody,” said Bean.
Long before opening an Office Evolution, Bean started working in construction at the young age of 14. After working years in the industry, he wanted to switch gears and enter the corporate world. He moved to Georgia to pursue a sales position in the insurance industry. While Bean enjoyed helping his customers, business ownership was something that always remained in the back of his mind. Eventually, his curiosity for entrepreneurship and helping small business owners take their company to new heights is what led him to Office Evolution.
“Office Evolution gives Andy the best of both worlds,” said Mark Hemmeter, Founder and CEO of Office Evolution. “He is taking his background in sales to sell the concept of office sharing and also gets to have a hand in the construction process as he continues to expand the footprint of Office Evolution throughout Atlanta.”
