The new locations include two suburban market <a href="https://www.regus.com/en-gb?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-announces-3-new-illinois-locations-as-demand-for-hybrid-working-continues-to-grow-2720311" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Regus</a> centers along with an <a href="https://www.hq.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-announces-3-new-illinois-locations-as-demand-for-hybrid-working-continues-to-grow-2720311" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HQ</a> center located in Champaign, IL, a small city with less than 100,000 residents and home to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.&nbsp; &nbsp;IWG will add a new HQ center:&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>206 N Randolph St, Champaign, IL (Central Illinois)&nbsp;</li></ul>And two Regus centers in the following locations:&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>101 W. Vandalia St, Edwardsville, IL (Suburban St. Louis)&nbsp;</li><li>220 E State St, Rockford, IL (Northern Illinois)&nbsp;</li></ul>“We are delighted to be working with new partners to bring the numerous benefits of hybrid working to businesses, local communities and employees in the area. Over the past two and a half years, demand for hybrid working solutions has rapidly increased as workers enjoy a significantly improved work/life balance with less time spent commuting and employers benefitting from substantial cost savings and the ability to recruit from a wider pool of talent,” said Mark Dixon, IWG Founder and CEO.&nbsp;“With 82% of CFOs noting in a recent study that the hybrid model offers a significantly lower cost base, leading to an ever-increasing number of businesses committing to the hybrid model for the long-term. As a result, we will see the Great Lease Resignation of traditional office space continue and the growing appeal of shared office and co-working spaces as a much more attractive alternative,” said Dixon.&nbsp;IWG’s new Illinois locations reflect the geographic diversity of the state as well as the growing demand for flexible workspaces in smaller communities, including small towns and suburban and exurban areas, over the past several years. The new centers span the northern, central and southern parts of the state. IWG workspaces help drive the growth of a wide range of local communities spanning from the second largest city in Illinois to a small town outside of St. Louis.&nbsp; &nbsp;In the wake of the pandemic, many workers have relocated to suburban and rural locations for a better work-life balance, and those centers across IWG’s network continue to see rapidly increasing demand as employees choose to work close to home.&nbsp;Among IWG’s global customer base are 83% of Fortune 500 companies, who benefit from access to IWG’s unparalleled network of workspaces including 1,100 locations in the U.S. and 3,500 locations in over 120 countries around the world.&nbsp;As the demand for hybrid working solutions accelerates, IWG is opening the vast majority of its new locations in partnership with commercial real estate owners, developers and franchisee investors. Partnering with IWG enables landlords to add value to their properties and benefit from IWG’s innovative tech platform and proven sales and marketing model. Strategic partnerships are varied and flexible - anything from simple fit-outs to revenue and profit-sharing arrangements. The IWG team can tailor solutions in whatever format and style to meet the specific needs of buildings and customers, including private offices, co-working areas, collaboration spaces,&nbsp; business lounges and meeting rooms.&nbsp;To learn more about IWG, please see&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iwgplc.com/en-gb/develop-a-location?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-announces-3-new-illinois-locations-as-demand-for-hybrid-working-continues-to-grow-2720311" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Workers can tap into these centers using the<a href="https://www.iwgplc.com/en-gb/download-our-app?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=iwg-announces-3-new-illinois-locations-as-demand-for-hybrid-working-continues-to-grow-2720311" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> IWG app</a>, where users can reserve a desk while taking advantage of a range of professional products and services.&nbsp;About IWG PLC&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;IWG is leading the workspace revolution.
