Unique Retail Concept Supported by Crowdfunding

The company is recognizable for its street food catering at events such as the London 2012 Olympics and the recent Rolling Stones’ Hyde Park concert, and is now looking to deliver the atmosphere, quality and variety offered at traditional farmer’s markets combined with the convenience of a smaller-scale supermarket.

In exchange for equity in the company, it is seeking both large and small investments in order to raise £70,000 to fund the opening of a second site in London. The business’s first permanent site was opened at St Pancras International station in 2009. Equity can be gained with £25, and rewards such as food platters and hampers are being offered in return. Larger sums will allow investors to join the Sourced Market Food Advisors group; a team tasked with scouting high profile food events and developing the company’s future.

Ben O’Brien, founder of Sourced Market said, “Since opening our flagship store in 2009 we have proved that our recession-beating and unique concept is very popular with discerning commuters, international travellers and local workers and residents alike and we currently serve 12,000 customers per week. We’ve listened to our customers and ensured that high quality convenience products from local artisan producers stay at the very heart of our business. We’re now delighted to offer our most passionate customers and suppliers the chance to be part of our business as we expand.”
