Tried to do things the respectful way.
We looked at a storefront in town that happened to be in the same building as a game shop. I even reached out directly beforehand to explain that we focus on comics, vintage and graded PokĆ©mon, video games, vinyl records, and collectibles ā not the tabletop stuff or Magic the Gathering they specialize in. I was told there wouldnāt be an issue.
Turns out they told the property owners they didnāt want us there because we were ācompetition,ā and the space was denied to us.
So plans changed. Weāre still opening a store in town⦠but now we WILL BE carrying MTG and Warhammer too. And yes, weāll be competitive on pricing.
We wanted to coexist. Instead, we got motivated.
