Hello Wheatsville!
We are really enjoying Owner Appreciation Days this week and I hope you are, too! We've seen over 1,000 of you take advantage of your one-time 10% discount already! If you haven't been in yet, you have until July 18th to stock up and get your discount. What other grocery gives you 10% off an entire purchase?!? Yay for one of the benefits of Wheatsville ownership!
We're also really excited because 30 people joined as new invested owners last week! This is really remarkable and exciting. If you have friends that aren't owners, YOU can help us reach our goal of 35 new invested owners this week by bringing them on in to join!
Many of you have already voted for us in the Austin Chronicle Best of Austin ballots, so thanks! But if you haven't done it yet, put down your popcorn tofu and do it! Voting closes on July 19th! We'd be delighted to win Best Neighborhood Grocery again and perhaps Best Treats? Just click here, it's easy as pie!http://www.austinchronicle.com/feedback/bestof/10/
