KWENCH co-working spaces, based on Victoria's Store Street, is shown.
Prior to the pandemic, Victoria, like many cities, saw a boom in the co-working culture.
These are shared workspaces where for a monthly rate, businesses get a place to work with all the amenities and perks that go along with it. Things like internet desks, boardrooms, fitness facilities, a kitchen are all included.
But with COVID-19 disrupting many businesses, these co-working spaces were no exception.
