FAQs

  • The possibilities are endless, but you can expect things like: coffee & pastries from a local cafe, boutique gift shop items, burgers & fries from a burger joint, pizza from a local pizzeria, groceries, car washes, fitness classes, event tickets, desserts from a local bakery.

  • We believe in the power of community and supporting local businesses. Our Discovery Drops help small businesses in Durham get discovered while giving you a chance to try something new—risk-free! It’s a win-win: businesses get discovered and you get to enjoy something awesome on the house.

  • No, it is not required.

  • Great question. Local service providers pay to be a part of the experience, giving them exposure as well. So, the person that checks you in at the next Discovery Drop may be a local insurance agent or furniture maker!
