We Are Open!
Nellies, we have some news to share. We are opening! On Saturday May 1, we will softly open our beloved headquarters to you.
This is a soft opening - a mini retreat, of sorts. We will start with shortened hours, a handful of amenities, and bits of programming. We can pop out of our houses and have a safe place to workout, get work done, watch movies, and see one another. We can have our pulse on the community and each other again.
The pandemic has been a whole mood. But through it, we’ve been working. Behind the scenes, late nights, early mornings. Back orders & delivery delays, name a roadblock and we’ve encountered it.
Having weathered all the possible pandemic setbacks we will start small and ramp up from there. And with this social distanced life, we can make some of the delays work for us. Fewer sofas means easy distanced seating, after all. It’s a slow and safe start fitting for the era.
‘I am excited to have a place to congregate again,’ our founder Lauren noted. ‘I used to go out to the gym or coffee shops with friends. I’m excited to have a place where I’m bumping into friends again.’
OPEN HOURS:
We are opening with limited hours of:
8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Mon-Fri

We can also arrange catering from The Russell, Billie’s Grocery, Cashew Creamery or Caffetteria, whether you’re in the mood for charcuterie boxes or full meals. Call or email to reserve.
Programming: Our programming will begin immediately with such things to look forward to such as workshops and trainings, complimentary wine tastings, super natural nights, guest speakers, crystal readings, karaoke nights, wellness ceremonies, and more. In addition, we’ve made a commitment that 25-percent of our programming will be arts-based.

YOUR WELL-BEING:
We are dedicated to keeping our members safe. Please wear your mask when entering, leaving or moving about the building.
If you’ve been vaccinated, please email or verify your vaccination card with us. We will make a note in the file that you do not need to mask at The Nelle.
We will continue to follow CDC and local health guidelines as we are still under precautionary measures for the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we offer:
A touchless temperature taker and hand sanitizer station when you walk in
Weekly best-in-class Covid tests through a local lab for our entire staff
Nightly sanitation fogging by our cleaning crew
A brand-new heating and cooling system with state-of-the-art infrared technology
Space to spread out, with a headquarters building that boasts over 15,000sqft of space.
WHAT’S TO COME:
More of everything!
Lounge Space: Oversized sofas by Roger + Chris and other plush furniture and local artwork to round out the space.
Food/Bev: A full cocktail and wine bar, plus an elevated meat-free menu created by local chef Ashley Bare. Expect olives, heart of palm ceviche, and other snacks; avocado toast, scones with clotted cream, and other breakfast; and veggie burger, Nelle Niçoise, Yoli chilaquiles, and other lunch and dinner dishes.
Spa: We are meeting with spas and creatives about building out our lower level as a full-service spa. Our goal is to bring in more community partners like The TUF Club, as we continue to build collaborations and dream big.
Childcare: We’ve put our childcare alcove on hold due to Covid safety concerns. Once we are fully up and running, we will revisit our plans.
Grand opening: We’ll throw a big opening party when all the space details are finalized, likely in fall 2021.
