congrats! i have a lot of cheap commons for sale if you want a bulk load of filler games to make the shelves look more stocked for opening. a handful of more popular things in there, but mostly sports games and the like. send me a pm if you're interested, i'd be willing to sell it all for well below what it's worth just to get it all gone Smiley

Congratulations! You must be really excited to see your dreams coming true.

If I'm ever in Prince George (and I will considering I'd love to see more of Canada) I will be stopping by.

Awesome job Crabby. Glad it went through. Hope you get everything going for the opening. I'll keep a eye out for cheap games I could ship you to help fill the shelfs as well.

First thing I would do is call the Ghostbusters to take care of that Canadian ghoul that is haunting the window in the first pic.

All kidding aside, congrats, man.  Living the dream.

They come standard in every building up here. Any business without a "dancer" fail in the first month.

Big congrats.

The pole even has recepticles on it. Ummmmm......electric strippers.  drool  That little side room is for the adult games and videos. You just need a black curtain to run across the doorway. My friend who owns the local store here always shows me the "goodies" that come in some of the disc games. Apparently, a lot of kids store their dirty DVDs in those cases and either they or their parents will sell games with the videos accidentally in them. Smiley

In all seriousness though, congrats Crabby! Looks like a great place.

Gotta admit, the place looks really promising. However, the interior looks fairly drab. If your budget allows it, try to get some vibrant colors going on in there.

Or you could go all-out and do really garish neon colors, just totally '80s it up.

Just don't go with pastels, please. You're opening up a video game shop, not a crafts store.

I am definitely not a DIY kind of guy, but I'll do my best to spruce it up. Probably all in pastel colors, right Zag?

I already got some paint and my wife and I are gonna try and get it painted up on Tuesday-Wednesday. I'll post some more pics when its done.

I posted an ad on kijiji. If any of you guys have a minute please check it out and give me some feedback on what you think.
