Tech company Jungle Disk, which grew significantly last year, is renovating a former Mexican restaurant into a pandemic-friendly office.
Bret Piatt, the company’s CEO, said the renovations to the space have been designed with pandemic-era sensibilities, seeking to entice wary workers to come back to a collaborative, in-person environment.
