"With a storefront at Somerville’s Bow Market and a forthcoming grocery-bar called Super Bien at the Speedway in Brighton, Buenas has launched a $35,000 NuMarket campaign to create the Buenas Aisle — a real-life aisle at Super Bien and a virtual shop for online shopping and shipping. I'm noting that the aisle will sell Buenas’s existing line of South American products (empanadas, sauces, and more) and a growing collection of new products, and that contributors receive 120% of their contribution back as store credit; cofounder Melissa Stefanini has described Buenas as being like a CPG company with the soul of a restaurant." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
