Company Shops Market Board Member Eric Henry

Boardmember Eric Henry says: “The paperwork is complete to buy preferred shares. We need to raise the final $300K to start the construction and open the store. If all of us, 1600 owners, bought the minimum $200 share we will have raised the funds. The time is now and we need your help. Let’s reconnect to our local agriculture!”

“Any of my North Carolina friends not join Company Shops Co-op yet? We have over 1,600 owners. We need your help to raise the final $300k and get the store open by this winter. Go to www.CompanyShopsMarket.coop/invest to get a preferred share subscription packet, invest as low as $200. Still got questions on why we need a co-op grocery store in downtown Burlington, give me a call, love to talk more. Thanks!”

Sharon Dent, Board President of Company Shops Market

Board president Sharon Dent says: “The investment documents for Preferred Shares are ready! Time for you to purchase your preferred shares now so that we can close on the loan and start construction!”

“We all want to see the market opened by the end of the year — and the Board would like to sign the commitment letter with Fidelity Bank for the $1.1 million loan in the next couple of weeks so that we can get started with the construction process.”

“In order to be prudent with investors’ money, the Board will only pull that trigger to start the process when we feel comfortable the $300,000 remaining in our $2.3 million project can be raised.  ”
