‘Cash Mob’ to support local businesses

0

WILMINGTON — On Saturday, Aug. 3 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce invites you to “MOB” Laney Cakes Bakery, Lil’ Traders, Papsy’s Place, and the Clinton County Farmers’ Market for a Chamber Cash Mob.

Cash mobs are a national movement aimed at supporting local businesses. A cash mob is like a flash mob, but instead of singing or dancing, cash mobbers join together and each pledge to support their local economy by making purchases at a selected local business.

Participation is easy — just show up at one or all of the participating downtown Wilmington businesses on Saturday between 10 and 2 to show your support, make a purchase (even a small one makes a big difference), and celebrate your community.

Laney Cakes Bakery specializes in cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and pastries. Located at 151 W. Main St., the bakery will be open from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Aug. 3.

Lil’ Traders offers new and gently used children’s clothing, shoes, toys, and more at 34 N. South St. They are open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.on Saturdays.

Papsy’s Place is a family-owned shop serving self-serve frozen yogurt with a variety of toppings and homemade sweet treats and soups, located at 115 W. Main St. They will open from noon-9 p.m. the day of the Cash Mob.

The Clinton County Farmers’ Market, open from 8:30 a.m.-noon is held on Mulberry Street between Main and Locust streets. The market features fresh, local produce, meats, baked goods, and artisan items.
