Went here the other day while I was out with my 8 year old nephew. His mom had given him some money…read moreto go ahead and get some Pokémon packs. As a fan of Pokémon myself I know how expensive the hobby has become and how little is available due to scalpers clearing everywhere out. Luckily the man working let us know that they were trying to combat this with charging retail price for their cards unlike most places that mark them up by absurd prices. We then were able to actually purchase some packs and my nephew was ecstatic! It's places like this with employees who seem to actually care that keep my faith alive when it comes to this hobby. We will 1000% be coming back to support this store. They are amazing and so are the employees.

My #1 stop for video games that I've been going to since I was a kid. The staff is friendly and…read morehelpful, they have a good selection of new and used games, used consoles and controllers, and merchandise such as plushies and clothing. To be honest, I dislike going to EB Games now, since like 75% of their stores are just POP figures and merchandise, and they only sell the newest games with a sad selection of used games, nothing for older consoles, and an almost non-existent selection of DS/3DS games. But I always depend on Microplay to have a new, lesser known game I want in stock. They also have games for older consoles like N64, PS, PS2, and GC, and sometimes have cheaper prices on brand new games compared to other video game stores. Even if there's other game stores nearby, I always go out of my way to buy a game I want at Microplay, cause I REALLY don't want them to ever close down!

There is not a lot of Indy bookstores left, but The Book Shelf is surely looking to stay around for…read moremany more years. It has a monster selection, but you really get a feel that everything is curated down from the travel selection down to the magazines. Even the kids section is fantastic and my son really loved our visit. They do a variety of special events and the staff are just super nice. You owe yourself the favour and go hang out at The Book Shelf for a while.

I love Guelph. This bookstore has the worst staff I have ever encountered in any local business. I…read moreused to run retail stores and if I heard my staff treat customers like this they would have been fired on the spot. I was horrified to hear the staff berating a woman who had her mask down in the store. The ignorant staffer asked if she had a virology degree and insisted that a cloth mask was mandatory even though the woman had put it back up. Even Fauci at this point has said cloth masks don't stop the spread of this virus. It's disturbing that staff can be belligerent to customers as mandates are about to be dropped literally tomorrow. Never will I shop here again.
