One of the things Bradfordians do best is support each other. With that in mind, the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce will be starting Ca$h Mob Bradford next month to help support locally owned businesses. The purpose of a Ca$h Mob is to have as many people as possible target one locally owned business on a specific day and spend at least $20. The target business will be announced on the day the mobsters will visit.
