READING, MA — Presence&Co, a modern screen-free social club dedicated to genuine human connection and well-being, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its flagship space in Reading, Massachusetts. On June 16, 2025, 80 community members, supporters, and friends gathered to celebrate this milestone and affirm a shared desire for more intentional places to belong.
Presence&Co was created as a modern third place for adults to gather, connect, and thrive beyond the demands of screens and daily routines. Rooted in the belief that courage and connection are essential to a fulfilling life, the club offers thoughtfully designed spaces and experiences to help people slow down, build meaningful relationships, and rediscover their presence and purpose.
“Our grand opening was a beautiful affirmation of why I started Presence&Co,” said founder Hannah Corbett. “People are hungry for spaces where they feel seen, valued, and part of something larger than themselves.”
The launch of the Reading location is also a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and professional networking. The Boston Business Women (BBW) network played a crucial role in making this vision a reality. Through BBW, Hannah Corbett connected with Angela Nuss of Jay Nuss Realty Group, LLC, a commercial real estate firm, and ultimately worked with Liz Tavares of the firm to secure Presence&Co’s perfect new home.
BBW has long empowered and supported female entrepreneurs and professionals by offering mentorship, business development resources, and a vibrant community. The success of Presence&Co’s launch underscores what happens when women uplift each other through shared knowledge, referrals, and encouragement. As Presence&Co opens its doors in Reading, it extends heartfelt gratitude to the BBW community for their unwavering support, inspiration, and the invaluable connections that turned an idea into a thriving reality. From introductions and expert advice to words of encouragement at every stage, BBW members demonstrated the remarkable power of women coming together to build something meaningful and lasting.
Presence&Co also extends deep appreciation to the Reading/North Reading Chamber of Commerce for its guidance and warm welcome into the local business community. During the event Chamber leadership shared that this was the most successful grand opening the organization has hosted in the past 18 months, a testament to the energy and excitement Presence&Co has inspired.
As Presence&Co opens its doors, it looks forward to contributing to the vibrant landscape of Reading and continuing to build a supportive, mindful community. Upcoming offerings will include gatherings, workshops, and programs designed to help members nurture creativity,deepen relationships, and reconnect with their own spark.
