Oh this would be fantastic! The whims of a landlord are a big reason why small businesses struggle to stay in business, so being able to own their building will be a HUGE contribution to their long term sustainability.

Black Friday sales are tempting, but remember unions are calling for a mass shopping strike for national chains, esp. Amazon, Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Starbucks, & Apple. If you shop between now & Dec 2, please support small & local businesses & avoid crossing the picket line 💪
