I recently started a small chocolate catering business and desperately needed to find a space to work outside of my home. I had previously connected with the owners of Per Diem Space and participated in a few Pop Up Shop sales there on Saturday mornings. As luck would have it, Per Diem Space was renovating the second floor apartment into small rental offices. Since the apartment had a kitchen, Per Diem Space was willing to rent it to me on a monthly basis....my own "office" space!
The kitchen was spotless when I became a tenant. There was a refrigerator and dishwasher already there, a table for extra workspace and plenty of cabinets in case I needed to store large items. I did purchase a large locking cabinet to hold my candy and supplies. Since my 4/1/17 rental began, the owners have installed air conditioning (so important for the chocolate to set properly) and also a water cooler with hot/cold options. It's my own little haven. And I love it!
I have nothing but positive things to say about PDS. The owners are always asking for my feedback or for what I might need. I constantly see small improvements and additions in the first floor workspace. Everything I could ever need in the way of "all things office" are on the premises. As a new small business owner, the women of PDS have been an outstanding resource for me. PDS offers classes at reasonable fees for topics you might want/need to investigate. Karen, Emily, Kim and Michelle have freely given me so many tools, opportunities and networking connections to help promote my dream and give me the best start possible.
Thank you Per Diem Space for your help, motivation, ideas, faith, interest and caring! read more
