GALWAY – Jennifer Comstock, who settled in the Galway area in 2016, is making plans to reopen the Galway Market this year with the help of a Kickstarter campaign that supports entrepreneurs.
In her Kickstarter campaign, Comstock aims to raise $25,000 to secure the property at 5231 North Street at the center of town, which closed for business in 2016.
This unique way of involving the community allows those interested in seeing their favorite place back in business an opportunity to purchase rewards as a “backer.” There are several rewards available between $10 and $500.
Kickstarter uses the “all or nothing” method of fundraising, so if a campaign is not fully funded, all money is returned to those who pledged. There is no penalty for donating over the goal amount. Kickstarter supports and advertises the campaign for 60 days.
