Week eight of #DGSOtogo marked the first restaurant winner in Downtown Greensboro Inc.’s (DGI) 12-week small business campaign. Week eight winners are:

• $500 GRAND PRIZE: Jonathan Leonard
• $500 BUSINESS GRAND PRIZE: Boxcar Bar and Arcade
• Downtown Greensboro Merchandise and Gift Cards: Darrell Johnson, Lori Hodges, Torrie Jones, and Benjamin Jablonowski

More than $6,670 was spent in center city small businesses during week eight of the #DGSOtogo contest. To date, almost $70,000 has been spent locally in Downtown Greensboro’s small businesses.

DGI is challenging the Triad to find a local spot in downtown Greensboro and dine/shop in person, order takeout, buy gift cards or shop online. After spending $25 or more in a downtown business, participants can upload a photo of their signed receipt to be entered into a weekly drawing for $500. Additionally, the represented business on the receipt will also receive $500.
