We opened our doors on October 6th, 2006...after 5 months of hard labor to get the place in tip top condition. Tearing down the inside to the bare brick, scrubbing all surfaces, pulling the old heating system and adding air conditioning. New doors and windows, brand new bath fixtures, plus we built the desk and had the patio and backyard finished.
We had two giant setbacks, 3 weeks before we were to open the city tore up 8th and Lincoln to replace the sewers. The workers were amazing and worked quickly to help us out! The second setback was in August we had met in a phone conference with Dusty from ACD he was to be my sales rep. Dusty knew everything we had been through and all the info on our research of what games to sell, it was a 2 hour conference. 4 Days later on the way home, his wife is in the car behind his motorcycle. She watches as he is killed in a car accident. It was a horrible way to start. But ACD in their grief jumped to get us a new rep and get us back on our feet. To this day Dusty is still missed.
Then October 6th came, we unlocked the doors and let people in and we haven't been lonely since! Thanks to all of you, our great customers who encourage and research and suggest and build and are loyal and believe in our mission. THANKS!
