I LOVE their private gaming spaces and the ambiance of the place is always so neat. This is how an EPIC gaming store should be.

I'll start by saying that this space is genuinely good. It's clean and well kept, the employees are…read morepleasant, and the food is good and convenient. My friends and I go 2-4 times a month to play commander. There's a table pass system in which you spend $10 and get a voucher that lets you stay and play and can be exchanged for $10 off of a purchase. This is fair and we've never had a problem with this. We typically end up spending ~$20-$30 each when we come and play anyway (more when we buy sets). The problem is how this voucher is limited in its use. My friend and I wanted to split a pizza, but were told we couldn't use our vouchers together in one order. A whole pizza here is $24, which is already fairly high priced; but because we had to do separate orders for a half pizza each we ended up spending $32 total for a whole pizza. Quite frankly, it's exploitative and greedy. Until this policy changes, our group will be playing elsewhere for our weekly magic. UPDATE: The owner's response to this was to explain the entire business model and how if he let customers spend their $10 voucher however they wanted, he would have to charge double that for people to play there, and then force people to get a $20 voucher on top of that. Well Jared, I may not be able to understand the mental gymnastics it takes to justify extortion of your customers, but I can see greed when it appears. I will not be feeding this greedy toad and would not recommend anyone else does. (:

Anything from cards to comics, action figures to darts, there were a lot of spots to find more collectibles. From what I saw, everything was priced pretty fairly - somewhat close to what you might pay online. But a lot of the stuff for sale is rare or exclusive and it looks like they're always bringing more in. Some items didn't seem to have prices posted so be sure to ask. I was able to find some Star Wars items for reasonable prices. Couldn't be happier!

It's worth it to bring kids or any train aficionados to see it as it's entertaining and free. The main area of the store is the base level which houses all types of toys that you can imagine. I enjoy heading to this store whenever someone's kid is having a birthday or other special event because I can always find the perfect gift. In terms of pricing you will pay a little more for the same items that you can get at major stores like target or Walmart but I always would rather support a small business over the chain type stores.

Pros: Quite large, many tables, separate room with excellent terrain tabletops for games like warmachine or warhammer, they have a good selection of board games to buy--not everything, but still a really good selection, they have a pretty good selection of warmachine/hordes stuff (niche market, I know), they also have used board games you can borrow and play at the store, and they have organized game nights, magic tournaments, warmachine leagues, etc. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They'll even let you sit at one of the tables and paint if you want (miniatures, I man, not portraits), good parking. Cons: Not much comes to mind. Their stock is fair as far as board games and miniatures go. I've seen better (but not much better); they're definitely well above average.

I think radio shack has become mostly about selling cell phones so it's not like it used to be. I hear that Radio Shack headquarters is going to have to close a few hundred stores so I'm hoping this won't be one of them. It has served me well for many years. I miss the old days when they had the battery club. LOL They gave you a card for free and you could pick out one free battery a month. They would punch the card each time you picked one up. I used to get a free 9 volt every month.

As young as he is, to me he is the male version of Victoria. Took great care of my mom when she got her iPhone 6 upgrade. According to my mom even though the store was busy he took care of her and the customers. Showing her how to work the phone. Oh boy now my mom is the texting queen, Selfies and all! Yikes!! Radio shack is still my favorite store for all me electronic accessories and phone upgrades.
