We've all heard of flash mobs; but soon Green Bay will be getting its first "cash mob."
Participants will get together for a synchronized shopping trip at a specific business at a chosen time to encourage consumers to buy local. The first hit; The Book Stop on Military Avenue.
Cash mob organizer, Nancy Eade says, "not a lot of people have the money to give to charities like they would like to. But can they spend $5.00 once a month at a local shop? It's so simple."
The group will shop Saturday from 1-3pm. A new business will be chosen next month.
