They opened their first store in 1991 in Aurora moving to Naperville in 1996. They expanded in 2002 by adding the 4U2Room to accomodate meetings signings, parties, and gaming tournaments.They relocated to 2035 South Washington Street, #155 in Naperville May of 2011. “The Dugout is committed to make your collecting experience a positive, fun time".
