CreekSide’s Future — Determined by Us During the Next Three Months!

As a community, we will determine CreekSide’s fate by the end of March.   

Over the last several weeks our dedicated community has made CreekSide a priority - thank you to everyone who has played a part in ensuring that CreekSide can cover operating expenses and not run out of cash in the short term.

Now the harder work begins - bringing weekly sales to a consistent $120,000.  Before long we will need to resume paying our debt obligations, and without higher sales that will not be possible.  This will only work by rediscovering new ways to shift our shopping to Creekside and  encouraging our friends and neighbors to share our passion for our community.  CreekSide is not just another shopping choice but the primary choice for sustaining our families and our community.

Seven years ago we had a crumbling building on a struggling street, with a vision for how things could be different. Now we have a vibrant community center on a block now supporting three new restaurants, a community arts store, a book shop, a performing arts space, and a renovated train station hosting events most days of the week, plus fresh activity for the businesses that existed before.   

What happens now is up to all of us.  Are you ready to make this work?  What will you do to help get us there?
