Prices are not the best, above market and with taxes it adds up. Nice customer service once you get to know the employees.

I called on a busy Saturday. Larry walked me through how to sign up online. Even fixed a mistake I made registering for pre release. Otherwise I would’ve gone to the wrong store. Thank you man! Amazing customer service which is rare nowdays

Seems like the store shifted more focus towards board games than TCGs. Mainly Pokémon sealed product and singles. Very little selection of other TCGs such as One Piece, Riftbound and Yugioh. I remember when the store at least had display cases of cards other than Pokémon.
