Description:
This is a veteran and family owned Comic Book,Gaming, and Hobby Store. We carry comics (single editions,TPB, GN, Magnas), RPG games, TCG games, some video games and specialized consoles, and the associated items, books, some VHS tapes and DVD's, an assortment of models, some snack food and drinks, and we carry a limited amount of collectible weapons and games. The store will have an area set up for customers to work on their projects, read their books or just visit with friends, as well as areas set up for them to play any games with their friends, both RPG/TGC and video. This store will be customer friendly and set up in a way that I would have liked to have seen in a store when I was younger and also from the view point of a person wanting to make money. A business plan has been drawn up explaining all aspects of the store. We had a working model in a Flea Market opened on the weekends which was making money for it's size, and supported itself as well as giving me a little outside spending money after inventory and bills. It had to be closed down due to the loss of my full time job, and it couldn't support itself and my outside bills. All major paperwork has been filed already, and some suppliers already acquired.
