    Coworking Out

    Veteran downtown Dallas coworking concept closes West End space

    After four years, the downtown coworking space The Grove is closing down. Officing at 501 Elm St. in the West End, The Grove served as a space for small- to medium-sized businesses, social innovators, entrepreneurs, and freelancers. The business will be closing its doors August 31.

     

    "Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of our control, we’ve found ourselves in a situation that simply cannot be remedied," the company says in a statement. "We've spent the last year exploring all of our options and found that our West End location is simply not sustainable."

     

    The Grove CEO Justin Nygren hints that the issue was landlord-related; the building was acquired by Goff Capital in late 2015. At least three other tenants, including Paperlyte Films, have left the building in the past year.

     

    "Without going into too much detail, the closure was out of our control," Nygren says. "We found ourselves in a situation that could not be remedied after the sale of our building at the end of 2015, right when we were at the top of our game. We've tried to work with the new owners and simply could not find a scenario that would work for both parties. I feel good knowing that we figured out a profitable model and were growing as a company, but sometimes forces outside your control make plans that change your business model. And sometimes the pivots don't work out."

     

    Nygren doesn't fault the coworking concept, which he calls "an amazing business model that will be viable for the foreseeable future."

     

    "It needs to be more than a real estate play in order to have the ability to retain members and grow," he says. "There needs to be a stronger focus on culture and genuine connections and that can only happen with highly intentional programming."

     

    Other coworking spaces continue to open around DFW, from Uptown to Oak Cliff to Plano to Fort Worth.

     

    The Grove's plan is to launch a different kind of business, focused on the programming they've developed over the last few years. "Whether through consulting, workshops, accelerators, or cohort programming, we will continue to support and lead the larger conversation of positive social change in the world," the company's statement says.

    Texas ranks as No. 1 state with the most people in financial distress

    Texans are stretched thin financially.

    Experiencing financial strife is a nightmare of many Americans, but it appears to be a looming reality for Texans, according to a just-released WalletHub study ranking Texas the No. 1 most financially distressed state in America.

    To determine the states with the most financially distressed residents, WalletHub compared all 50 states across nine metrics in six major categories, such as average credit scores, the share of people with "accounts in distress" (meaning an account that's in forbearance or has deferred payments), the one-year change in bankruptcy filings from March 2024, and search interest indexes for "debt" and "loans."

    Joining Texas among the top five most distressed states are Florida (No. 2), Louisiana (No. 3), Nevada (No. 4), and South Carolina (No. 5).

    Texas' new ranking as the most financially distressed state in 2025 may be unexpected, WalletHub says, considering the state has a "bigger GDP than most countries" and still has one of the top 10 best economies in the nation (even though that ranking is also lower than it was in previous years).

    Even so, Texas residents are stretching themselves very thin financially this year. Texans had the ninth lowest average credit scores nationwide during the first quarter of 2025, the study found, and Texans had the sixth-highest increase in non-business-related bankruptcy filings over the last year, toppling 22 percent.

    "Texas also had the third-highest number of accounts in forbearance or with deferred payments per person, and the seventh-highest share of people with these distressed accounts, at 7.1 percent," the report said.

    This is where Texas ranked across the study's six key dimensions, where No. 1 means "most distressed:"

    • No. 5 – "Loans" search interest index rank
    • No. 6 – Change in bankruptcy filings from March 2024 to March 2025 rank
    • No. 7 – Average number of accounts in distress rank
    • No. 8 – People with accounts in distress rank
    • No. 13 – Credit score rank and “debt” search interest index rank
    The study also clarified that the state's high search rates for "debt" and "loans" is a key indication that Texans are "desperate to borrow, despite already owing money."
    Examining these financial factors on the state level is important for understanding how Americans are faring with economic issues like inflation, unemployment rates, or natural disasters, according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
    "When you combine data about people delaying payments with other metrics like bankruptcy filings and credit score changes, it paints a good picture of the overall economic trends of a state," Lupo said.

    At least inflation isn't impacting Dallas as much as other U.S. cities.

    On the other side of the spectrum, states like Hawaii (No. 50), Vermont (No. 49), and Alaska (No. 48) are the least financially distressed states in America.

    The top 10 states with the most people in financial distress in 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Texas
    • No. 2 – Florida
    • No. 3 – Louisiana
    • No. 4 – Nevada
    • No. 5 – South Carolina
    • No. 6 – Oklahoma
    • No. 7 – North Carolina
    • No. 8 – Mississippi
    • No. 9 – Kentucky
    • No. 10 – Alabama
