Minneapolis

Coffee, it’s a daily routine for me! Why should this week be any different?

This week I visited a number of local coffee shops close to Guse Hardware and invited neighbors to join us on October 24th to shop for environmentally-friendly items, listen to music, join in activities for the kids like face-painting, and have lots of fun!

BIG thank you to the following coffee shops who let me place Carrotmob Minneapolis flyers in their shops. THANK YOU!!!

Caffe Tempo
Anodyne
Moose & Sadie’s
Java Jack’s
Urban Bean
Starbucks
The Bad Waitress

I look forward to visiting your coffee shops again!

Hello Mobbers!

Get prepared, this Saturday, Sep. 26, Operation Carrotwave will unleash carrots on Minneapolis! We will be rockin’ some guerrilla marketing and using sidewalk chalk to put the message where you walk. We will also be visiting all of our hardware stores with a scavenger hunt to find out more about the products they are carrying.

You can be as hardcore as you want, we just want you there! Got mad chalking skills and want to throw down around the lakes and sidewalks of MPLS? Or get more involved in our hardware stores? Join us at one, or as many as you want. Be prepared to rock the verbal messages as we want to tell everyone we encounter about what we’re doing.

Our schedule will go from 10 am – 1 pm, and then again from 4pm – 6pm. Here’s our schedule, you can meet up whenever you want!

10am Bayers DO It Best Hardware in Linden Hills and chalking up the Lakes
11am Guse Hardware in S. Mpls
12am Bryant Hardware, near Uptown
1am Nicollet Ace Hardware in S. Mpls
4pm Ace Hardware Frattallone’s, near Downtown
5pm Welna Ace Hardware in Phillips neighborhood

Please visit our google map to see where we’ll be.

Let us know if you’ll be representing!
