Merkspace Begin - review
Merkspace was founded about a year and a half ago by Sapir Shpigel, a young entrepreneur. The company currently has 4 branches in Israel (two are in the center of Tel Aviv - Karlibach 10 branch, Menachem Begin 65 branch, and two branches at Atidim Deborah Hanevia 121). This week, the fourth branch in Kiryat Atidim, called Olympia Zone, was opened and adapted to sports entrepreneurs. In July, the first international branch will be opened in Amsterdam.
