Chick-fil-A Burke Centre is a great supporter of our community. Providing more than 100 jobs and Nick, the owner is a great mentor for his team and provides an inclusive culture. As a franchise, they are an independent locally owned business who support all people in our community.

Work Smarter Digital helps businesses so founders have more time to participate in and enjoy their abundant lives, more profits because they aren’t wasting money on digital tools that don’t work and hiring costs and the ability to scale their business because they have the right digital tools and systems to support their growth.

The Garden is a space where people, ideas and the arts come together. Whether it's for a party, to learn how to build and fly a drone, or to see a show, people will find The Garden a wholly unique experience. Located in the West End of Alexandria, next to the Van Dorn Metro Station, The Garden is Alexandria’s premier training and event space. Offering a full events venue and staff, individuals and organizations can rent our industrial-chic warehouse for weddings, birthday parties, corporate training, or even more events. No crazy idea is off the table to The Garden. The name is meant to evoke the sense of a community garden, a place where individuals come together to grow something more than just their own projects. The soil is better for having multiple crops, just as our space is better for having a diversity of ideas and people there.
