## Story

STAFFORD, Va. - Venture X® announced today that it will be expanding its footprint in Virginia with the opening of a new location in Stafford. Franchise owner Richie Parsons and his wife Charissa have signed a lease to bring Venture X’s luxury coworking experience to 475 Aquia Towne Center Drive, a Class A office building within Aquia Town Center.

Slated to open in the second quarter of 2027, Venture X Stafford will feature 20,000 square feet of flexible workspace spanning the entire fifth floor, including 90+ private offices, four meeting rooms, and a large training room. Situated conveniently off Interstate 95, the new Venture X will be within walking distance to fantastic restaurants and entertainment options, along with hotels and other amenities.

This is the sixth Venture X location for Richie and Charissa Parsons who also own and operate Venture X franchises in Ashburn, Brambleton, and Fairfax, Virginia; Frederick, Maryland; and Nashville, Tennessee.

“Charissa and I are very excited for our next location to be in Stafford County,“ said Richie Parsons. “We are currently working through construction drawings and hope to begin construction in January. Each of our projects is designed to reflect the unique character and culture of the area we are serving, so we can’t wait for our vision for this location to come to life.”

Venture X Stafford will offer flexible workspace options for individuals and companies, including private offices for large and small teams and entrepreneurs, shared workspace, and virtual office plans with address and mail service. With several existing locations in the DMV, Venture X is quickly becoming the most recognizable upscale flex office provider in Northern Virginia.

In addition to physical workspace, members will have access to a community/café area, which promotes networking and collaboration opportunities within their own teams or with other Venture X members. The community space will also be available for networking events during the day, or after hours for the community. For members and non-members who need meeting room space, Venture X will offer state-of-the-art conference and training rooms for hourly and daily use.

“Stafford County continues to attract businesses that recognize the opportunity created by our location, our talented workforce and our growing community,” said Stafford County Board of Supervisors Chairman Deuntay Diggs. “Venture X’s $3 million investment at Aquia Town Center will bring a new kind of professional workspace to Stafford, giving entrepreneurs, small businesses, remote workers and growing companies more options to establish and expand their presence right here in our community. Investments like this strengthen our commercial centers, support our local economy and reinforce Stafford as a place where businesses and ideas can grow.”
