I think the term recession-busting solutions is sort of silly. I agree that serviced offices provide maximum value as far as office spaces go. Executive office suites can provide some relief, but the play on the recession with terms like that is getting old. This time last year, the message was surrounding a booming economy. Boom or bust, I think sticking with the fundamentals of the benefits is timeless.

I notice Regus is keeping the pressure on this businessworld membership. I wonder what the big attraction is there? I mean, at one level, I guess it’s incremental revenue for Regus and they can get it whether or not folks travel from one serviced office space to another. I guess it also communicates value. But it’s just interesting to see how hard they are pushing it.

Regus seems to be firing on all cylinders. The fact that this serviced office giant had so much news coming out this week speaks volumes, really. Regus is dominating headlines in the executive office suites industry lately because it’s moving fast and furious to execute on its growth plan. Congrats!

The population of Des Moines is a little over 40,000. So from a population perspective, there’s definitely room for more than three serviced office providers. It’s a matter of how their office market is doing and how much awareness there is of the executive office suites industry. Regus will definitely bring more awareness.

I bet those competitors have to see Regus coming into the local market. Regus serviced offices are really a cut above a lot of the independent brands, unless they really specialize in technology or some other angle. It’s also interesting that Des Moines has room for three executive office suites players.
