Who we are
We’re a group of friends and collegues who love living in Chico and are here to help bring a hub of community to our downtown.
Stoble Workplace
What began as an idea to create a single story cafe with a few offices for rent has grown into a much larger endeavor. We now find ourselves with a light filled atrium surrounded by 17 offices, 5 conference, collab, and meeting room spaces, and shared workspace tables galore. Our freshly renovated sublevel adds an additional space for a large classroom space, printer/coper facilities, phone booths, breakroom lounge and more.
Our story
With the vision of creating a central hub in downtown Chico where the community, small business owners, and creatives alike can come together, we’ve spent the last few years surveying the local business scene, and the creative solutions offered by coworking collectives across the country to bring Butte county a resource unlike any other.
Paired with Stoble Coffee Roasters
This location truly brings the community right up to your door as it houses a cafe and coffeeshop across the Plaza facing side of its interior.
A small but mighty team
More than a decade of friendship and ideating at our core, we’ve found a constant stream of projects to keep us all connected as we’ve spent time both near and far. Having spent the last few years cheering each other on in our respective fields, we are very thrilled to at last have a shared goal together in Stoble!
Lauren Thiede
Owner
I’ve called Chico home since 2010, and I am so excited to use the four walls of Stoble as a hub for delving deeper into the amazing community this town has to offer.
Matt Thiede
Owner
An engineer who loves getting nerdy into to many things, my involvement with Stoble runs all over the place. Generally found jumping between overseeing the high level ops of Stoble and helping out wherever the need arises.
Matt Johnston
Owner
After moving to Chico to found Stoble a few years ago, I’m now largely focused on the branding, design and digital marketing of all things Stoble.
Nicole Hill
Workplace + Marketing Manager
I was born and raised in Chico and jumped at the chance to be involved in such a community-centered space for coworking, connection, coffee, events and so much more! I feel so lucky to be involved in such a special part of our sweet little town.
Seidy Naal
Community + Events Coordinator
I've called Chico home for the past six years and have a deep appreciation for the wonderful community here. I have a background in customer service, social media marketing, event planning, and even spent some time in the world of coffee—which is why I'm so happy to be part of the Stoble team!!
Emily Cockrell
Workplace + KICS Manager
A third-generation local, I was raised among the almond orchards and on the slopes of the local ski areas. I joined Stoble in 2021 and immediately felt at home. With a passion for community and connection, I love fostering meaningful relationships and building supportive environments. I look forward to continuing my growth alongside Stoble in the years to come!
