Carrotmob KC Mobs First Kansas City Business

What if you could support a local organization's going green efforts by merely shopping there? San Francisco based Carrotmob came up with the concept and has been going strong ever since--and Kansas City now has its very own Carrotmob KC.

The concept is a simple one--Carrotmob works with local business owners who are essentially 'mobbed' by locals on a specific date, and a percentage of what the mob buys goes towards the green efforts of the business.

Carrotmob KC's first hit? Liquor stores. After approaching local establishments and promising to bring a huge mob of paying customers if they could donate the largest percentage of sales to being green....World of Spirits at 39th and Bell won the bidding war and will be donating 24% of gross revenue on Carrotmob Day into their environmental efforts.

What: Carrotmob KC
When: Tuesday, October 21st 5-10 p.m.
Where: World of Spirits, 39th and Bell
