Is a game store viable business?

I wish you luck. You may want to contact the Green Dragon in Charleston, SC. I'm sure Scott can give you some solid advice. He's been in business since the mid 80's and still going strong enough he sticks with it. When I was last living there Beowulf, Scotts son, was learning how to take over the business.

He does cable advertising and is also diverse in his products. New Age stuff, anime, videos, computer rentals (rent time, not the computer itself), comics, CCG's, miniatures, board games, martial arts supplies, swords, etc...


Again, I hope it works for you.

He started off as a roleplaying game store with some minis and a few boardgames. Now he has a few rpgs, a lot of board games, a good array of ccgs, some anime, and a good line in used computer/console games.

He's celebrating his second anniversary with a very different, but so far successful, store.

Wow. If he can successfully keep a gaming store open in Walnut Creek, given the rents there, he's a frikkin' genius!
