Klink, an app-based service for on-demand delivery of beer, wine, and spirits, has partnered with Total Wine & More to launch a delivery service in Plano.

As of June 27, customers can use Klink's app or website to order from thousands of products from Total Wine & More’s Plano store for delivery within an hour, from Deep Ellum Brewing Co. beer to a bottle of your favorite gin.

"Klink's partnership with Total Wine & More makes getting beer, wine, and spirits delivered straight to your door a complete no-brainer,” said Klink CEO Jeff Nadel.

Total Wine & More senior vice-president John Jordan touts the app as making it "easy and enjoyable" for customers to find drinks online. "Klink delivers convenience and is a great extension of the service, selection, and price Total Wine & More customers have come to expect in our stores," he says. Total Wine & More is America’s largest independent retailer of fine wine, beer, and spirits, with 136 superstores in 18 states.

Via Klink, Plano-ites can order from more than 13,000 products for delivery at no markup.

Customers create an account on the Klink app or klinkdelivery.com, select the drinks they want, pay with a credit card, and live-track their order as it's being delivered. Drinks arrive within an hour, and the delivery fee is $5 per order, regardless of order size. Klink will be offering delivery to the entire city of Plano.

Plano is Klink's second launch in Texas, after almost a year of operation in some parts of Dallas, where it partnered with a number of retailers. It also does beer, wine, and spirits delivery in Florida and Washington, D.C. Other on-demand alcohol delivery options for Plano include Lash, which launched in spring 2015.

To celebrate the Plano launch, Klink is running a promotion on July 1-2 with Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar. Plano customers who order via Klink for delivery will get one of the restaurant's signature whiskey cake desserts for free with every order.

You must be 21 or older with a valid ID. Order any product on July 1 or 2, between 10:30 am and 8 pm, with a minimum cart of $20, and the cake will automatically be included in the order. There's a limit of one per customer, and the offer is only available while supplies last.

Coworking News

New coworking space to open in Dallas' Oak Lawn neighborhood

Office Evolution

A coworking space is opening in Dallas in a central location: Office Evolution, a Louisville-based coworking chain, will open what a release says is a "state-of-the-art coworking space" at 3500 Oak Lawn Ave. #360 in Dallas at the southeast corner of Lemmon Avenue.

No details on what makes it state-of-the-art, but construction is ongoing and an opening is anticipated in mid-October.

Office Evolution was founded in 2003 as a shared workspace-coworking environment, cultivated on the principles of "Ohana," the Hawaiian tradition that references family working toward a common goal. (The founder was from Hawaii.)

The company started out in Boulder, Colorado, then relocated its headquarters to Louisville. It's an affiliated brand of United Franchise Group, and is part of The Vast Coworking Group, which specializes in franchising within the coworking industry. All of their locations are franchised.

The Dallas location is owned by franchisee Michael Pickering, a Dallas native who runs a family-owned indoor soccer facility in Dallas. (There are two other Office Evolution locations in the DFW area in McKinney and Southlake, owned by different franchisees.)

They're describing the Dallas location at 3500 Oak Lawn Ave. as "Turtle Creek," although its location at Oak Lawn and Lemmon really puts it at the epicenter of Oak Lawn. (To further complicate matters, the building previously and incorrectly described its address as "Uptown.")

It's a seven-story building in which the majority of tenants are doctor and medical offices.

Office Evolution rates include a coworking day pass for $25, plus "flex" office options starting at $200 a month for 20 hours, up to $550 a month for 80 hours.

Amenities of the building that are also accessible to Office Evolution customers include a front desk; a 1,000-square-foot fitness center; covered parking; and on-site security six days a week.

According to a spokesperson, Pickering and his team put $1.2 million into the renovation to transform the space, which occupies most of the fourth floor where it will span 9,240 square feet of space with 41 total offices — one of which is earmarked as an "on-demand office" for the professional on the go.
