It's official -- as our Founding Owner drive came to a close on October 31, we've reached our goal. Durham Central Market officially has over 300 (301 to be exact) Founding Owners. Many, many thanks (and congratulations!) to everyone out there who believed in this venture enough. Durham Central Market is off to an excellent start, and you're a big reason why!

To those who haven't joined yet, there's bad news and good news. The bad news is that the chance to be a Founding Owner has passed. The good news is that you can still be a big part of helping us get off the ground. November 1 marks the start of our Sprouting Drive, which will help us continue to build towards establishing a location and working out financing. And, while we can't get anyone joining up now a Founding Owner t-shirt, we do have a pretty nifty reusable shopping bag in the works. (Details to come on that later.) Buy a share now!
