CASH MOB at North Hollywood Hardware along with KOST 103.5 and Habitat for Humanity

KOST 103.5 is helping to breathe new life into local businesses using the Cash Mob approach.  Utilizing flash-mob mentality, a cash mob organizes in advance, but instead of performing a group-style dance, KOST 103.5 will use its airwaves to organize and drive listeners into a local establishment to help breathe life into a struggling mom-and-pop business.

On Sunday, August 26th, KOST 103.5 is doing their part to stimulate the economy by inviting listeners to stop by North Hollywood Hardware and purchase merchandise from the store to help the struggling business.

Through the on-air support,  word of mouth, social media and press coverage, KOST 103.5 hopes to have a tremendous positive effect on this event.

Morning show personality Mark Wallengren commented, “The benefits that local businesses gain from successful cash mobs are not just a one-day influx of cash. Hopefully new customers are found, old customers are reacquainted and a new appreciation for local businesses that fuel a sluggish economy is found. I’m so proud of KOST for participating in such a great community event."
