Office Evolution is a prominent coworking franchise that was launched in 2003 by Mark Hemmeter in Louisville, Colorado. Specializing in flexible workspace solutions, it provides private offices, coworking spaces, conference rooms, and virtual office services. The brand began franchising in 2012.
Unlike many competitors, Office Evolution focuses on suburban markets, delivering convenient, cost-effective office solutions for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and remote workers. Each location offers well-equipped private offices, shared workspaces, and fully serviced meeting rooms, creating a professional environment with lower overhead costs.
The franchise is built on its distinctive “Ohana” culture, which fosters a strong sense of community and connection. Franchise owners benefit from extensive support and a business model designed for scalability and success. With modern, productivity-driven spaces and a commitment to local business growth, Office Evolution remains the largest locally owned coworking network and continues to expand its national footprint.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Office Evolution offers a comprehensive training program designed to prepare franchisees and their teams for successful business operation. The franchisor provides multiple structured training modules, each with specific purposes.
Office Evolution grants its franchisees a temporary "Protected Search Area" where they have exclusive rights to search for a business location. This area is valid only until the franchisee secures and gains approval for their business center location. Once the lease is signed or the location is otherwise secured, the Protected Search Area is terminated, and the franchisee does not receive an exclusive territory.
The franchisor retains significant rights even within the Protected Search Area. Office Evolution can sell its products and services through various channels, including digital means, within any area.
Additionally, franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned locations, or other brands controlled by the franchisor, meaning no lasting geographic exclusivity is guaranteed.
