Cru Wine & Tap Embarks On $50,000 Expansion

Cru Wine & Tap, a welcoming downtown neighborhood wine bar and pizzeria, has unveiled a $50,000 crowdfunding initiative aimed at expanding its space, growing its retail wine shop, and upgrading its kitchen to better serve the Florence community. In a strategic move with NuMarket, Cru Wine & Tap is extending the opportunity to fund their growth in exchange for 120% back in credits on contributions made to the crowdfunding effort. These credits can be used toward future purchases—marking Cru Wine & Tap as one the first business in Florence to use the innovative platform.

Cru Wine & Tap is part of a pilot initiative to introduce the NuMarket platform to the Florence business community in partnership with Florence Downtown Development Corp. and Main Street America. “We are thrilled to partner with Main Street America, NuMarket, and Cru Wine & Tap to pilot this innovative creative funding solution for high visit frequency businesses in our local market. We encourage everyone who loves Cru to jump in and help make this pilot successful so we can bring it to other small businesses in our community,” said Hannah Davis, Development Manager for Florence’s Main Street Program.
