JJ Goodman uses crowd funding to open London kung fu bar
JJ Goodman, co-founder of London Cocktail Club, is hoping to raise £50,000 to open a crowd-funded kung fu-themed bar in central London this year.
PimpShuie needs £50,000 from crowd-funding investors to become a realityPimpShuei will be a “fun and quirky” bar inspired by “the crazy world of old school kung fu” serving affordable cocktails and food.
However Goodman and his business partner Sipheng You are struggling to find a property within their current budget, so are turning to crowd-funding site Indiegogo to ask the global bar industry for its help.
“We’d like to think that many of you will like the concept and support this project in some way,” they said in an appeal on indiegogo.com. “We simply can’t wait to make it happen and we’re really looking forward to partying with you.”
As of this morning (20 May), £3,081 has been raised, just a fraction of the £50,000 target the team hope to reach by the end of June.
Investors in PimpShuei will be rewarded with free cocktails and fortune cookies, as well as branded t-shirts and hoodies, cocktail masterclasses and grand opening invitations depending on the level of contribution.
Donations are also being sought in the way of props that relate to the kung fu theme. Contact info@pimpshuei.co.uk for more details.
