Community Department Store Sells Shares
September 1, 2007
Community Department Store Shares now available.
The Board of Directors of Saranac Lake Community Store, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its initial public offering of shares on July 17th. The shares are being offered by prospectus only to residents of New York State, NY#1 07-1504. The offering is for a minimum of $500,000 and maximum of $600,000 of Common Shares at a price of $100 each, and the maximum investment for any individual is 100 shares with a minimum of just one share.
Prospectuses are available at: Scott’s Florists, Woodruff Street, Saranac Lake
And second floor, HomEnergy Building, Depot Street, Saranac Lake at the following times:
Thursdays 5:30-6:30 pm
Saturdays 10:00-12:00pm
Upon completion of the offering, the Company intends to lease premises of approximately 5000 square feet in downtown Saranac Lake to operate as a department store geared to the needs of the local community.
Originally a spin-off from the Save Saranac Lake Coalition, a group of local residents was formed to identify retailers who might potentially open a store in the village. In the course of their research, they came across the concept of community-owned department stores which have successfully served their markets in a number of rural communities, mostly in the Western U.S. A public forum was held in the village that featured presentations by representatives of stores in Powell, WY and Greenfield, MA. The response was positive and a group of volunteers from the community developed a business plan culminating in this offering.
