Any wealthy folks want to invest in a revolutionary business idea?
A gaming store where, get this, the staff is legitimately welcoming and helpful and doesn’t act like you’re an interruption. And also it doesn’t smell stale.
Oh and if you’re a parent shopping for gifts we’ll be legitimately helpful and not act like you’re a dumbass for not knowing some legitimately complicated things about their hobby. And gift “cards” that can be exchanged for an exact thing! Know they want d&d books but don’t know which one? Cool just hand them this exchange card and they don’t have to worry about the amount!
Also, we’ll run game demos for people who want to try new games! And game nights for those that want to make new friends.
The connecting theme is WELCOMING COMMUNITY. You know, unlike most gaming stores.
For those of you saying “stores start out this way but then people come in an act shitty” hey guess what kick shitty people out of the store and let them know they can come back when they follow shop expectations. Just because one person is shitty doesn’t mean you automatically default to treating all people like shit. That’s an epidemic among game stores.
There’s a really cute space for lease (okay lots, but one really affordable one) near me. So if anyone has $200,000 to give me so I can open a shop that will do after school programs and be a generally good place to be, as well as paying employees a good wage, hmu
