Historic Mobbing


5 Points is hosting the latest Jax Cash Mob this Saturday, September 8th at Sun Ray Cinema. 

Cash mobbing is a nifty term that promotes shopping locally in “flash mob” form.  A group of people assemble at a local independent retailer, that is unveiled day of, and buy items from that business.  Their purpose is to support both the locally owned and operated businesses and overall community while having a great time.  Previous mob meetings this year were held in Springfield, Shoppes of Avondale, and Downtown Jacksonville.

Join the Jax Cash Mob this Saturday, September 8th at 11am in 5 Points.  Everyone will meet at Sun-Ray Cinema to view a short documentary about building community.  Then they will head off to explore local shops in the 5 Points village by way of a scavenger hunt, prizes included!  Afterwards, Tapa That will be the designated spot to meet back up for lunch and socializing starting at 1pm.

Rules for participating:

1.      Show up at Sun Ray Cinema, 1028 Park Street, at 11am

2.      Watch Movie

3.      Spend $10-$20 at a local store, which will be revealed day of the event
