Pete's Bagels debuts co-working space in Gulfport
/Steven Peterman, owner behind the beloved St. Pete bagel shop Pete's Bagels, is launching a new venture—a co-working space in Gulfport.
Monday Morning Club will be designed to resemble a vintage diner, bringing a taste of fun nostalgia to 1401 49th Street South.
Members will enjoy free WiFi, complimentary coffee from St. Pete-based Look Alive Coffee, free bagels from Pete’s every Friday, and discounts on events and space rentals.
“I have always wanted to open a diner,” Peterman said to St. Pete Rising. “But this space isn’t really set up for a restaurant.”
