Some History
FRESH Carolina, LLC started out as a 5-year, $5,000,000 project that first began on January 1, 2018 when the company launched 500 Corporate Shares for sale at $5,000 each. On March 1, 2019, these shares were valued at $7,000 each (40% increase in only 13 months).
On February 29, 2020, each of the 500 existing shares were split into four (divided by 4) and the value set for each of the 2,000 ordinary shares was set at $1,750. So, if you purchased any $7,000 shares prior to February 29, 2020, that means you now own four (4) $1,750 shares for each of the $7,000 shares that you had prior to February 29, 2020.
NEWS FLASH: On January 6, 2025, all Type A shares became worth $2,300 each. That is 31.4% overall increase since December 2020 when these shares were valued at $1,750 each)​
