ATLANTA, GA—Capitalizing on growing demand to accommodate the changing face of corporate work, Office Evolution, a rapidly growing shared-office franchisor offering co-working space, private office space, virtual offices and business services, has opened its first business center in Alpharetta.

It's the first of 10 centers planned for the Atlanta area, and franchise owners Andy Bean and Scott Thompson, through their firm, Atlanta Office Ventures, are already moving ahead with a lease for a second location in Dunwoody near Perimeter Mall.

“We are excited to debut the first of our ten centers planned for Atlanta, as well as secure the location for our second center,” says Bean. “Atlanta has a vibrant, entrepreneurial small business community, which is ideally suited for the services we provide. Our locations offer solopreneurs and small business owners the opportunity to conduct business near where they live and play – without the congestion of downtown traffic. Besides offering a terrific location and amenities, we are keenly sensitive to the needs of our members. Our business center managers help them overcome small business challenges and connect with other members to realize their full potential.”
