Yeah, that's what I had in mind, a kind of satellite location. An 
experiment to compliment the other spaces and learn from. Given that, the 
limited hours don't bother me so much. It comes with the territory of a 
mall space, and I also think this part of Europe is just more accepting of 
limited service hours, including for accessible office/work/community 
space. There are many successful coworking spaces in the area with limited 
access hours, and those limits also bring some benefits, such as the 
ability to have a full-time community manager, fewer issues with security, 
and even some degree of imposed work-life balance for some of the members 
(including myself) who I know struggle with leaving the space as early as 
they "want to" (in the deliberative, rational, delayed-gratification sense 
of "want", as opposed to the impulsive, addictive, instantaneous 
gratification sense of "want" :).
