Working Alone Together and Growing a Business Community
The Weekly BUZZ at The Hive RI & the Mill at Lafayette…
We have 2 offices open in The Hive!
It doesn’t happen often but we now have 2 of our coveted 4 private offices within The Hive RI available. Unlike elsewhere throughout our lovely Mill at Lafayette, these offices are rented month to month, no deposit and no lease required…we just ask for a 30 day notice when you’re ready to move on (or up, as many tenants end up moving into larger spaces within the mill). These offices are great if you like privacy but also like to be within a community setting. They are $300 per month and will go quickly so if you (or someone you know) is interested, please let Tuni know ASAP:tuni@hubdigitalmarketing.com.
Coworking in The Hive RI:
Have you been thinking about ‘coworking’? We only charge $100 per month and you’re welcome to come ‘test drive at The Hive’ for zero, zip, zilch for the first couple of days! Come on by, make yourself at home and see if this might be a good fit for you!
Exercise during your work day:
We are adjacent to Ryan Park, a beautiful wooded park owned by the town of North Kingstown that features miles of walking/running trails, ponds and streams. So many of our community members here at The Hive RI and in the Mill at Lafayette take daily advantage of this beautiful space. We have showers available so don’t worry about working up a sweat!
The Mill at Lafayette:
Check out the rest of our amazing businesses and community members here: business directory . Read the blogs to learn more about what’s going on in the historic (and innovative) Mill at Lafayette and if you’re interested in joining us you can see what we have for available spaces too!
Be social:
If you haven’t already, be sure to ‘like’ and visit our Fb page to keep up on the day to day musings and goings on here in The Hive RI coworking space, as well as throughout our mill and local communities!

HOP ON BOARD THE EAST BAY SHOPPING EXPRESS
WARREN, RI– Look no further than Rhode Island’s East Bay for that one-of-a-kind gift for that one-of-a- kind-person this year – and have fun doing it!
The East Bay Chamber, in collaboration with the Barrington Business Association, Discover Warren, and the Bristol Merchants Association, has coordinated a tri-town shop local campaign, which kicks off on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 26, with the East Bay Holiday Shopping Express. Two festive trolleys will circulate the downtown hubs of Bristol, Warren and Barrington, taking shoppers to the hottest retailers and restaurants in the East Bay.
This year, we’ve expanded our trolley run times. Shoppers can get off and on the trolleys from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no cost to ride. Trolley stops and parking locations can be found on our website, www.EastBayChamberRI.org/HolidayShoppingExpress. Our main starting point will be Gooding Plaza in Bristol, next to People’s Credit Union on Gooding Avenue.
New this year is our East Bay Passport to Savings. This convenient book is loaded with savings, coupons and discounts to over 50 local merchants. These Passport deals are good through the entire holiday season, with offers expiring on Dec. 31, 2016.
Make sure to mark your calendars and grab your friends and family. Get your shopping done in three, two, one… Three towns, two trolleys, one day!
