WorkPods Launches a New Chapter for Entrepreneurs

Midrand, Gauteng Jun 19, 2025  – The journey of an entrepreneur is challenging enough without the extra stress of finding an affordable, functional workspace. This is where WorkPods – Community of Entrepreneurs comes in. Previously known as “Storehouse” and then “Co.Space,” the Midrand-based business campus officially rebranded as WorkPods on March 1, 2025, marking a significant new phase in supporting the next wave of South African business leaders.

Every entrepreneur requires space – not only for thinking and meetings but also for execution. While serviced offices are plentiful for those providing professional services, commercial space remains a costly and inflexible barrier for creators, fixers, builders, makers, and movers. The majority of available options are simply too large and expensive, requiring long-term leases that don’t align with the agile and lean needs of a startup.

Launched in 2016 following thorough research both locally and internationally, the facility was specifically designed to address the unmet needs of hands-on entrepreneurs. We provide modular, “business-ready” workspaces with flexible month-to-month rentals, all within a secure campus accessible 24/7. Shared amenities include a business hub, coffee shop, outdoor relaxation areas, and ample on-site parking. We offer more than just physical space; we cultivate a community founded on a shared spirit of growth, innovation, and collaboration.

Our rebranding to WorkPods truly embodies who we are: a lively, inclusive, and practical environment created to empower entrepreneurs to succeed. We focus on connections, purpose-built spaces, and shared success, not just desks and doors.
