Saw the add. It's great. It makes me wish I was in Prince George... but then I remember how far north it is.

Went to say hi and ask about hanging a flyer at the table top gaming store just around the corner from my place yesterday. To my delight and surprise he just offered up a shelving piece to me and helped me carry it to my store. Its one from EB Games that they used to display loose GBA games. It'll definitely free up a lot of display space for me, and it didnt cost me a thing! What an awesome neighbour Smiley

Going to see if the store needs another coat of paint today. Should have some new pics up soon when thats done.

Looks great! Those are good colours. I think you need some posters to jazz up the space.

Is there a leak in your ceiling? What's that puddle in the last picture?

you really lucked out with such a nice looking place! all the game stores around victoria always seem sort of cheap and run-down, and most of them aren't even old.

A lot of the places around here needed a ton of work too. I definitely scored with the amount of work I have to put into this place.

Just like a house/apartment, it always looks smaller when you start putting stuff in it.  Do you think you might have events where you put the games on freeplay?  Except for TMNT, which doesn't have a freeplay mode.

Not a chance. I'm expecting 90% of my income to be the quarters generated from these machines Wink

Just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in here in this thread. The grand opening of Game Quest was far more successful than we anticipated. The response we got yesterday was on the brink of overwhelming and pretty much every customer was incredibly enthusiastic about the store. So thanks for helping me get to this point, as ALL the input from you guys was used in our decision making and it turned out very well Cheesy
