The Growth Signal reports

Consumer interest in ‘third spaces’ spiked in early 2023—a response to lockdowns and social isolation.

This wasn’t a temporary reaction. Instead, a fundamental shift in how people seek connection.

What are third spaces?

They aren’t your home (first space) or work (second space) but a (third space) where people gather, socialize, and build community. Classic examples include:

– Parks
– Libraries
– Museums
– Coffee Shops
