Fifth Street blazes ahead with membership drive
Fifth Street Brewpub, a co-op brewery launching in Dayton, is reporting "a blazing start" to its membership drive. Organizers say they signed up 200 members in less than two weeks. The volunteer group behind the brewpub is selling one share per person for $100. All owners, including the founders, own an equal share of the brewpub.
“Two hundred member-owners in 10 days with minimal promotion shows that beer lovers like the co-op concept and the idea of owning their own brewpub,” membership director Maureen Barry said in a prepared statement. “This is an idea that is sweeping the nation. Based on this pace of 20 new members per day, we have upgraded our goal to 500 members by July 31.”
Fifth Street Brewpub also has an investor’s initiative, with investment levels as low as $1,000.
