Description:
We were all involved with the original store's run. Taking from our own experience, as all of us have gained addition knowledge and experience. We can draw upon this to create both a profitable business and help improve the community. People would be coming in to play table top games, some are dice games and others would be card games, as well as some computer games. This attracts a broad range of people as the games themselves vary widely in price depending on how 'in to' the games they want to get.
The age range is also widely varied as there are going to be games for most ages. The younger group (between seven and ten roughly), enjoy card games such as Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. The teenagers are more likely to come in for the computer and online games.
Adults, both young and older, will be in for some other card games, such as Magic the Gathering, and a variety of RPG games such as Dungeons and Dragons, as well as White Wolf's Vampire, Werewolf, and Changeling games. We expect to see the customers range in age from seven years old to over sixty and gender, as more females are into these activities than ever before.
Having worked and help run a store like this before we found it attracts a broad range of people from kids who need a fun and safe place to go after school and on weekends, to adults who are looking to get in to the games more seriously. This will also provide a safe, open environment for after school and weekends. The business will support the wide range of games that will likely attract kids who otherwise would not have many healthy activities in their free time. It will offer them a place to go, learn new games and skills, and socialize with other gamers of all ages. This creates a friendly feeling that will encourage customers to return and be around others.
We plan to offer friendly competition and group gaming activities that will create cooperative play and will strengthen relationships and forge new ones.
