Pay close attention to zoning laws. The local store here has midnight release events for hardcores but they offer free snacks and drinks. They can't sell food or drink since they're in a strip that has a good Thai restaurant, a grocery store, and a fast poop taco joint.

Interesting. Gonna try and get in touch with a Realator by the end of the week and can hopefully ask them some of those kinds of questions.

very cool that you seem really dedicated to this and have a good grasp of the steps you'll need to take to get started! so many people get these sort of plans worked up in their heads and then get lazy or give up when they start to see the work it takes.

Since I don't think I've posted this yet, let me just say good luck! Hope you do well. It'll be a game store for gamers owned by a gamer, and that is always a good thing.

Thanks for the support guys!! Just did a preliminary name search for Game Quest, Game Guardian and Game Crusade. Should any of those be available I'll be registering the name shortly after. Says I should have results back within about 1-4 hours.

That'll just make it all the sweeter when I succeed, right?
Just found out that one of my co-workers is in the same stages I am of opening his own game store in town. He is shooting for a Table Top style game store. Pretty cool, and now I've got someone to talk to that's in pretty much the same boat as me

So Game Quest (My first choice) is already taken by a company in Toronto
There other two were available though
Which do you guys prefer: Game Crusade or Game Guardian? I'm leaning towards Guardian myself.

Not a fan of Crusade. It'd be hard to market and hard to remember. Guardian also goes with the retro theme. It also would make a wicked logo for the company.
Talk with den about possibly getting some artwork for the logo. He's done a decent job for us in the past.

Yeah I thought Guardian would be easier to market and remember too (who doesn't love alliteration?)
Den does do awesome work. I've got an old friend that does graphic design and has helped me out with stuff in the past though. I'll be talking with him first.

guardian, it's alliteration and can be abbreviated to GG which is great for the multiplayer gamers.

This usually has to do with previous tenant agreements. The board game store I go to sells snacks, candy, drinks, etc, but they cannot sell pizza because when the pizza place next door signed their lease, they worked in a "exclusive rights to sell pizza" clause.
It's likely that you will be able to sell some food or snacks but there may be restrictions based on who is already there.

Name registration finally went through (there was a long delay apparently because a few that approved them left their positions and there was a flood of new applicants after our recent provincial election). And I got approved to use the name Game Quest!!!!!!! Really psyched about that as it was my first choice. Also got in touch with a realtor about checking out some store fronts locally and have been checking out a few with my wife and just peeking in the windows. There are a few possibilities in our downtown area depending on the price of rent.
