We have been a small but growing gaming/hobby store since 2014. I won't tell you it has been easy or even fun all the time. What I will tell you is it has been an adventure and humbling at the same time.
I started this little dream of mine because I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur and do something other then work for the other businesses all the time. I wanted to have something I could pass on to my Children or Grandchildren when I am done with working. I also wanted to help people in a way most people don't even think about it. I suppose you can say I just wanted to make a small difference in someones life by giving them a place to play games and meet others with the same interests.
A game store is so much more then just "Retail Store" is a an environment where people can come feel safe and play games with other humans in a situation where there are not alone and by themselves in bedroom or office while sitting on their TV/PC playing games or watching the latest on the internet. A game store is a meeting place, a hangout, a place to experience new games and different people without the pressures of most other environments. Every new customer that comes through the door has the potential to be the next gamer we incorporate into our gaming community. One of my core values is to make people know they are not alone and even the shyest person can feel at home in a game store well at least this game store. There is so much more to say but I will save that for the blog, podcasts and videos we do here at Guffs Stuff. Until then feel free to dig around and find something you like.
