#TodayIs — one year of RALtoday. 🥳

When we launched on October 7, 2019, we did not expect 2020 to be such a whirl for us, but we love that so much continues to happen in the city we call home. We can’t thank you all enough for the love and support you’ve shown us throughout our first year here in Raleigh… and this is just the beginning. From our Launch Party at Whiskey Kitchen in the snow to making it through a pandemic together, we’re here for the long run and hope you’ll stick with us too.

Here's a snapshot of RALtoday by the numbers

🎂 Subscribers: We started with 12.5K by our Launch Party in February of this year. Shoutout to all of you who took a leap of faith and subscribed to us pre-Launch Party and are still waking up with us today.
Today: 30K subscribers. We appreciate every single one of you.

🎂 Instagram: We started from scratch and have grown to 12.3K followers as of today. Y’all make our community thrive with your tags and comments. And remember, you can holler at us by using #raltoday in your posts + stories.
