Well, my first week is over and it was a good one. It was a soft open, so other than mentioning it on my Instagram account, I did’t really advertise that the store was open. Mostly I just turned on the lights and rolled up the gate. I don’t even have a sign yet!
Even with that, I had curious customers every day. We talked about games we’ve played and games we’d like to play. We talked about the mall and upcoming events and the possibility of in-store gaming (it will happen). Mostly I was able to share my passion for the hobby and the desire to see people enjoy playing games.
I also met a number of my neighbors, other small business people pursuing that dream. The previous tenant even showed up and told tales of the hard work she put into the space when she first leased it.
With only a week gone by, my store is still young and learning. I have more games arriving this week and I’m looking forward to showing them off.
Stop by sometime and lets talk about games!
