[QUOTE="khantroll, post: 5986360, member: 95652"] Thondor, I'd be happy with any information you'd be willing to share. I appreciate anything you can tell me. The "destination store" thing is something John and I have been arguing ever since he first broached the subject to me. I have said, much as you did, that comic and game stores are the kinds of places a person means to go; therefore, stores off of main thoroughfares are with lower rent or a more attractive/iconic facades are valid choices. John points out, however, that other game stores in the area have used this principal and failed. In fact, our longest running game store closed up shop a few years ago after they moved from a location on a main road (but out of the big shopping areas) and into a much bigger but out of the way location. As to comics, we have a long-established comic book store in the area, so that plus BAM plus the low margins make me think that it simply isn't worth it. It's also worth point out that, in the state education system, our university has an average age of 26. Which is down from 29 two years ago. Despite being a major University of Arkansas campus, our campus is essentially a teaching and polytech campus (research and theory are done at the Fayetteville campus, except for medical and law which are done in Little Rock). Danny: Yeah, wifi is a must. [/QUOTE]
