As national coworking chains expand nationally with their standardized layouts and cookie-cutter amenities, independent coworking spaces have found an innovative way to compete: banding together to offer members access to workspaces all over the world while maintaining their unique local character. Through organizations like the League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces (LExC), independent spaces combine the benefits of local expertise with national accessibility in a useful coworking network.
What sets these independent spaces apart is their deep connection to their communities. Local owners and operators understand their city’s business culture and create environments that reflect its unique character. They’re agile enough to adapt their offerings based on member feedback and quick to implement changes – something large chains often struggle to achieve with their one-size-fits-all approach.
When these independent spaces come together through LExC, they maintain their individual identity while adhering to shared quality standards. Members enjoy complimentary access to professional workspaces in major markets across the country, each offering consistent amenities and service levels yet retaining its distinct personality and local expertise. This proves particularly valuable for business travelers who want more than just another generic workspace experience.
At Coco, we’re proud to offer our members access to this broad coworking network through our LExC membership. Our members can enjoy other LExC spaces throughout the country (and a few international locations) as they travel. It’s part of our commitment to providing extraordinary value while maintaining our position as Minneapolis’s original coworking community.
