Well folks its been a slice.
Firstly, let me say Thank You. From the store's humble beginnings in CBS to today, the only reason I was open was due to you guys and your loyalty. Thank you so much. Some think the store failed, and well for my regulars you know that's not true. The store has never been better. Its just time for me to take care of myself.
Its a bitter, sweet thing for myself. I finally get to stop and breathe without any pressure, or worry about not being able to open the store due to injuries. But I know it's a bad hit for the community for sure. As most of you know, the terrain I had at the store was 90% sold to customers so that you guys could continue your gaming in my absence and keep the community going.
A lot of people are asking me what I am going to be doing once the store closes. Well...... retire. I have been retired and technically a pensioner since 2016, but opened the store as a gamer. I wanted to play with my toys, no one was accommodating it. So I did. My goal is to probably move somewhere warm where my body doesn't hurt as much. But that's way down the pipeline. I'm still going to be here for quite a while. To the sadness of some lol. I will be a part of the community, still playing. Still advocating the different groups of friends to get together to play and not go back to only playing with one person in their basement.
WE, have built a community here. Keep it strong, keep it healthy and look out for each other.
From the letters and messages I have got from people, my store has been there when they were having a mentally stressful time. No judgement and no worries just good times. People came to the store to have a "yarn" most days. Noble's wasn't just a store it was a community. Since opening I have advocated for you to take care of each other. Too many people that I know have left this world too soon. Having a laugh with someone goes a long way, and if you need to reach out to someone. DO IT. The world is a better place with you in it.
Anyways, I'm sure you guys are sick of me already.
Take Care
