Very nice. Let me know when you get close to opening. I have family down that way so I might stop by... to see the southeastern competition =P

If opening and running a game store is what you want to do, i say go for it! im in edinburgh and i would love to open a store but there isnt enough custom here :/ the big company GAME is in administration and the smaller game stores arent doing great, the only one that seems to be doing well is a small used game store on Leith walk called Leith game exchange and the store is ran by one guy, occasionally he gets his wife to hold the fort but not much. when i go into a game store the main thing i want is that the staff know what they are talking about and that the store has a good inventory
Currently playing - Titan Quest - Immortal throne (PC)

you guys should set up a mini franchise! Create a logo, share a name.. or a sub-name or something...

then dont forget to invite gamester81 over so he can make a video!

Welcome To Warp Zone!

That would be a nightmare to reconcile, I think. For now I'm going to stick to online sales. I decided against a retail front for now, simply because I found it unfeasible to man my own shop right now while pursuing my degree. I'm looking at a fully staffed franchise store a couple hours away, but I don't have the capital to invest right now. I'm looking into a flea market space, though, so I'll at least have a physical presence somewhere, now.

@CarsAndGames, how's your store coming along?

Wow...

Even in this economy, CarsAndGames can still live the American dream.

EDIT: When you've moved to Vegas and all that jazz, can you take a picture of the place? I need to know if my tears of jealousy are justified.
