Cash Mob is Back on Wednesday

The cash mob will start at the Museum on Main on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 6 p.m.

From the Pleasanton Downtown Association:

The Cash Mob is at it again!  These groups that meet specifically to patronize a specific local business, have been popping up across the country, and Downtown Pleasanton is no exception.  The Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) began hosting Cash Mob events last year, and after a short holiday hiatus, brought the event back in January at Passionate Athlete.  The second Cash Mob of 2013 will be on Wednesday, February 20. 

“Our Cash Mob aims to engage participants with the ‘buy local’ message and ensure they have a great time doing it. We’re informing people about how their $20 purchase goes a long way to improve the quality of life in downtown,” said Laura Olson, Executive Director of the PDA. “The Cash Mob will give us all an opportunity to have a measurable impact on a business in our downtown.”

All shoppers interested in participating should meet at the Museum on Main, 603 Main St., at 6 p.m. to learn the secret shopping location for the night. Then, the group will walk together to the downtown location and shop together.  Shoppers are encouraged to spend $20, meet their fellow “mobbers” and have fun!  If you cannot make it to the Museum please check the PDA’s Facebook page for the selected business and address.
