My LCS moved 2 blocks and the vibe changed overnight
My local shop, Heroes Corner here in Boise, moved two blocks east back in March. The old spot was cramped with boxes stacked to the ceiling and you had to squeeze past people to reach the new releases. The new place has wide aisles, good lighting, and a coffee bar in the back, and now I see parents with kids and teenagers actually sitting down to read instead of just grabbing a bag and leaving. The owner told me foot traffic doubled in 6 weeks. Has anyone else seen a shop change this much just from a new location?
Man, that tracks. My old spot had a guy who literally had to move a stack of long boxes so you could get to the manga wall. New owners knocked out a wall and now there's a couch and a table where kids actually play cards. Same books, same prices, but people stay way longer. A room that feels good just makes you want to hang out.
