Lehan Drugs Cash Mobs Moxie in DeKalb, Illinois

This past Sunday we at Moxie were "Cash Mobbed" by team Lehan Drugs. I'd only heard of cash mobbing before but never dreamed that something so wonderful would happen right here in DeKalb.

 According to wikipedia a cash mob is ... "a group 

of people who assemble at a local business to make purchases. The purpose of these mobs is to support both the local businesses and the overall community." The Lehan group came in together and many had on cute t-shirts stating their mission of spending money locally 2 dollars at a time. And yes, they made their purchases with 2 dollar bills which really makes it easy to identify their purchases. We had a BIG stack of 2's when they were done. They weren't kidding, they really mobbed us .... but in the most social and well-behaved way!

The mission of supporting local businesses is something that I know is so important to Lehans and to us at Moxie as well. If we don't support all the great independently owned businesses we have here in our DeKalb / Sycamore area then what will we be left with if they can't make it. You know as well as I, we will be left with the exact same stores that you can find in almost any town. And that would be sad. Those shops serve purposes for sure but what gives our towns color, flavor, flair and uniqueness is the different talents, products and services offered by all the mom and pop / family owned businesses.

So thank you so very much Lehan Drugs for doing something so uplifting for our local community. I know we were not the only ones who benefitted from your generosity on Sunday. You've inspired me to be even more diligent in resourcing my needs locally.

This post is a copy of the post I did over on our Facebook page.  That post got such a positive response that I felt I should also share it here for any of our  readers who didn't see it over there.

13th Annual Moonlight Shopping Party

It was a blast.  Hard to believe it was one week ago already and I'm just now getting these photos posted.  Time literally flies during the month of December or so it seems here at Moxie.  I can't even wrap my head around the fact that Christmas is only a week and a half away.  I better get busy!  I've got lots of things to do ... how about you??

We hope you were able to drop by our 13th annual Moonlight Shopping Party last Friday night...(and if you didn't you NEED to come next year because it really is a FUN event!).  It was our busiest one yet.  We are honored and so very thankful that y'all still like us.  And the feeling is mutual.  Without you we'd just be a shop filled with fun finds and cute stuff.  But with you, we are a vibrant and thriving part of our local landscape.  We know that shopping local is a choice and we (and I think I speak for the other local businesses that you also suppport) thank you so very much for making that choice!

Thank you Mackenzie Maeder for capturing some great moments on camera!
