The Blackstone Valley Independent Business Alliance and the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce will hold the first Cash Mob of 2016 on Tuesday, April 26.
Gather at 6 p.m. in the parking lot across from Landmark Hospital, 186 Cass Ave., in Woonsocket. The two mystery businesses to be mobbed will be announced promptly at 6:15 p.m. No need to register; just show in the parking lot.
The Cash Mob concept is simple: gather a large group of people who agree to spend money at each venue. The larger the crowd, the larger the impact on the local economy. The mob descends on the selected businesses, and consumers make purchases of their choosing.
“This is a great way to do our part to help stimulate the local economy,” said John Gregory, president and CEO of the Northern R.I. Chamber. “It’s a lot of fun too,” said Jeanne Budnick, BVIBA president.
For more information on how to be selected for a cash mob, contact Paul Ouellette of the Chamber at 401-334-1000 ext. 117 or Jeanne Budnick of Pepin Lumber at 401-769-8128.
The Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce represents businesses in Burrillville, Central Falls, Cumberland, Foster, Glocester, Johnston, Lincoln, North Providence, North Smithfield, Pawtucket, Scituate, Smithfield, and Woonsocket.
