Group mobs local business to help boost local economy

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- A mob was held in Syracuse Thursday night to support a locally-owned business.

The “Cuse-mob” packed into OM Boys Juice and Smoothie Bar in Armory Square. The concept is similar to a flash mob, where a group of people gather together to break out in dance. Instead, the group gathers at a store to spend money to help the local economy. It’s the second mob the group has done, but they can’t tell you when or where the next one will be.

Earlier this year nearly 250 people mobbed a store on Salina Street.
