Mobbed in Bucksport: Cash-Conscious Crew Drops Big Bucks on Local Business
Bucksport, ME – A big-city plan for localized economic stimulus has come to little Bucksport.
About 30 shoppers amassed a “Cash Mob” on Friday evening at Bittersweet Gift Shop on U.S. Route 1 in Bucksport. They left with candles, statuettes, glasswork, jewelry and woodcraft — all produced in Maine. And they left their cold, hard cash.
It was likely more customers than the small gift shop usually sees in a day. Shop owner Carol Metthe said the recession has been rough on her nine-year-old business, which relocated from Main Street Bucksport last year.
