Libertyville Cash Mob
Libertyville Cooperative Nursery School Announces Libertyville's First Ever Cash Mob
Benefiting Parkview Gourmet and Mickey Finn's Brewery
Libertyville – April 2012 – Libertyville Cooperative Nursery School (LCNS), a licensed, not‐for‐profit
preschool servicing the Libertyville area for over 60 years, announced today that it is organizing
Libertyville's very first Cash Mob on Saturday, April 21 from 3 pm – 7 pm. The Cash Mob is set to take place
at Parkview Gourmet and Mickey Finn's, both located in downtown Libertyville.
What is a Cash Mob?
It is similar in concept to the more commonly discussed “flash mob” but with a Cash Mob there is no
dancing required. The idea is to help the local economy by organizing a community shopping group using
social, print, and other media to get the word out. The “cash mobbers” are encouraged to visit a small, local
business that exemplifies community support and spend just $20.00 (or more if you like.) It is a relatively
small amount of money for one family to spend but if a business receives hundreds of people shopping
(mobbing them) it is a huge boost for their business and the community alike.
Where is the Libertyville Cash Mob?
On April 21st LCNS encourages community members to first, stop in and shop at Parkview Gourmet (121 E.
Cook St.) between the hours of 3 pm – 5pm. There you are encouraged to show your support for their
locally owned business by spending just $20.00 in their store. After you are done shopping, LCNS
encourages you to move onto Mickey Finn's (412 N. Milwaukee Ave.) for dinner or drinks between 5pm ‐
7PM to celebrate our amazing Libertyville community with friends, neighbors, and other Cash Mobbers.
Why a Libertyville Cash Mob?
Cash Mobs are a celebration of community and LCNS feels Libertyville deserves recognition for its
wonderful sense of community. Mickey Finn's and Parkview Gourmet are two businesses that continually
support other local business, schools, and philanthropic causes. LCNS feels it is their turn for our
community to thank them for all they do for us. Please help us do so and celebrate this wonderful
community by participating in the Libertyville Cash Mob.
This community event is being organized by the Libertyville Cooperative Nursery School as a thank you to
businesses that continue to support us in our fundraising efforts. LCNS receives no monetary gain in this
effort; we are simply recognizing and thanking Parkview Gourmet and Mickey Finn's for their support of our
community. We hope this Cash Mob will be a great success and will lead to future Libertyville Cash Mobs
where we would like to recognize other equally wonderful local businesses. However, in order to make this
event a success, LCNS, Parkview Gourmet, Mickey Finn's and the Libertyville community need you to
participate… please join us on Saturday, April 21 from 3 pm – 7 pm for Libertyville's first Cash Mob.
