Depends on if there's enough demand for the service from people who consider Regus an unacceptable option.
Starbucks built an empire on the unserved masses of people who (1) wanted to be people who went to coffee shops & (2) were scared to go to actual independent coffee shops.
It seems a good path for WeWork to follow. Lower costs and broaden appeal, just enough to cater to people who won't use Regus.
- jjeaff 7y agoIs anyone really scared to go to an independent coffee shop? Seems like they just didn't want to go bad enough. But since Starbucks is everywhere, you no longer have to cross the street to drop in at a coffee shop.
- chrisseaton 7y ago> were scared to go to actual independent coffee shops Nobody's 'scared' to go to an independent coffee shop. This is a ridiculous snobby notion.
- everyone 7y agoWell if u have an extreme peanut allergy for example.. in a big corporate place everything is in a packet, just made in a big factory and you can get a list of the ingredients.. Whereas in a small cafe, they may have made the cakes themselves + put a cake with nuts next to a non-nut cake on the shelf. Personally, having a nut allergy, I feel less stressed by soulless corporate homogeneous food. Though still jusy much happier never going to any place of that ilk and having my own food (wayyy cheaper too).
- mhdhn 7y agoI took it to mean they were scared to be treated like they don’t fit in. That is a real thing. One example: There is a chain that sells “goth” and other pop culture lifestyle goods to mostly teens call Hot Topic, mostly in malls. They improved their business prospects by being friendly and professional to would-be goths’ parents and kids with parents and other “outsiders”. I’m sure they take biz from a lot of independent outlets that way. I.e., don’t be scary.
