Coventry's First Cash Mob Proves Successful

The location revealed only minutes before arrival was Sparkle Unique Gifts & More.

The event, organized by the non-profit organization 'Let's Buy Local', was held to boost sales of one locally and independently owned business and in the big picture, help the local economy.
