Co Club

Co Club is a place to socialize, share experiences and build real world relationships through the hands-on making of craft and artisanal goods

Company Summary

Co Club is a social club in which members will share experiences and build real world relationships through the hands-on making of craft food, drink and goods.

Our vision is that once the Co Club model's power is proven in our Chicago prototype we will have a proven model for creating "real world" social, skill-building and local real estate market value for members, for our members, our investors and the communities in which we locate.
