Our Mission: Empowering Business Success
How It All Began: A Historic Space Reimagined
The Society’s story begins in the heart of Downtown Edinburg, housed in a beautifully restored historic building.
What was once a bustling JCPenney store has transformed into a vibrant coworking hub, blending 20th-century charm with 21st-century innovation.
Since our inception, we’ve grown into a dynamic community of over 200 businesses, all united by a shared vision of success and collaboration.
