Investment Challenge!
Local realtor, Jason Cox, of East Coast REO,
is challenging Co-op owners to take their
Co-op commitment to the next level! Jason
has pledged $10,000 in our Community
Investment Note Program if it can be matched
by another $10,000 of investment by June 30,
2008.
"I believe a store like Company Shops
Market will be a huge asset to Alamance
County, bringing healthy, environmentally
and socially sound food products within easy
reach," explains Jason. "I’m very excited to
have the opportunity to help bring this kind
of resource to my community. Please join me
as a founding investor!" |

Investment Notes
Contact Melissa Frey at 336-314-1972 or melissa@companyshopsmarket.coop
for a complete Investment Package before investing.
The two main
fundraising vehicles for Company Shops Market are selling
ownership shares and gaining participating in the Community
Investment Note Program. Both categories of money are considered
equity and will strengthen our financial position, giving us
more financial power and flexibility, and enabling us to secure
bank financing.
The Co-op has
already raised in excess of $100,000 with this program and will
launch a formal capital campaign after a lease is signed on our
location. We will need to raise nearly one million dollars with
this campaign. This will allow us to confidently move into the
design and up-fit phase of this project and will ensure strong
cash flow for store operations.
