Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 72: The Evolution of the Game Store

Hobby Game Stores have evolved from the small mom and pop store of the 1970's and 80's. Saul and Jolene discuss how they have had to evolve from those small hobby shop game stores that have mainly gone the way of the dinosaurs. In today's small profit margins and competition from online sales they can't, like other retail establishments, do business the same old way.

Saul relates the two old style hobby game stores from when he was a kid. Neither one of those two stores remain, but instead we have bigger and more inviting game store that have to be that way to remain in business.

Saul and Jolene discuss the changes that are made by successful game stores, the three that they patronize follow the model of being a center for the gaming community. From having nice clean, well lit places to play to some offering cafe and bars in their establishments. A long way from the old hobby store that had stacks of Avalon wargames and badly organized rpg books thrown haphazardly on a few shelves.

Saul and Jolene talk about several game stores they like and Saul found one that is seemingly not shedding the non engaging store owner more interesting in talking with his friends than possible customers.

As always thanks for listening and all we ask is that you share our podcast with your family and friends.

Music composed by KickSta, song Drive To You.
