| Community Investment Initiative |
 Have you considered investing in Weaver Street Market?The expansion of our Southern Village store is nearly complete, the new store and commissary in Hillsborough have opened and are exceeding expectations, and we're beginning a suite of improvements to the Carrboro store. Weaver Street Market celebrates out 20th anniversary this month, and we're sure working hard to make the next 20 better every day, but to keep everything moving along we need several more community members to make 5-year loans of $10,000 or more. We've nearly reached our member investment goal for this phase of the expansion project, but still need a few more members of the Co-op to make this additional investment; please contact us soon if you would like to receive more information about the Community Investment program, including the complete Offering Memorandum. Why should you loan money to Weaver Street Market? • Your investment stays with a local business you know and trust; where three times as much money filters back into the community as in a corporate-owned business. • Your investment benefits your Co-op, and supports our initiatives that include paying a living wage, and our long-time support of local agriculture. • Help us expand our Southern Village store, open a new store in Hillsborough, and improve our Carrboro store. More space! New products! • We'll pay 6% simple interest annually, and repay the principal after 5 years. |
