The newsy element here is that the Ambler location, estimated to open in April 2017, will become the first-ever licensing deal for Benjamin’s Desk: developers Marc Policarpo and Matt Sigel will be using the Powered by Benjamin’s Desk brand but they’ll hold down the fort on their own for the projected 80-100 members.

For those unfamiliar, Ambler Yards is a 250,000-square-foot industrial complex with 14 buildings scattered across 25 acres, right outside of Ambler Borough in Lower Gwynedd. Some may remember it as the AmChem Chemical site. Most recently, Ambler Yards hosted seasonal Beer Gardens and a Family Fun Day enjoyed by over 500 people.
