- Big Update Incoming for GHQ Friends, Fam, & Supporters -
This post is coming with less warning than we hoped for, but is about Gamers HQ having to relocate our Third Lake location.
We know most people will want to know why, as it feels we just reopened and finished our own construction. We always want to be as transparent as possible, you all are our support and the reason we stay motivated to keep going even when things are harder than just “normal business”.
If you want to hear all the details feel free to come visit us in these next few weeks, and we will give you all the drama we have encountered with our very scammy landlord over coffee, snacks and video games! The short explanation is pretty simple; Our landlord tried demanding we pay for the 3 months after the car accident when she was rebuilding the wall / door and we did not have access to the building. This being an over 10k dispute, we involved lawyers and were deemed not responsible for paying these months. During the time it has taken us to work out a legal settlement our lease expired and now our landlord has refused to re-negotiate. It has been frustrating as we have put a lot of time, energy, and finances into this location turning it into our dream business. It is our goal to relocate to a better location and have some potential spots, but are open to suggestions as well if you want a Gamers HQ in your hometown, let us know!
Gamers HQ has until June 31st to vacate our location.
Our official last day will be Saturday June 26th.
We are rallying a team to help with the tear down from the 27th- the 31st if anyone is open to volunteering please shoot us a message!
If you want to get in any last hours at Gamers HQ - Third Lake, you’ll need to come before Saturday June 26th!
On behalf of Gamers HQ, Thank You all for everything. Every one of you has been amazing and it was nothing less than one of my life’s greatest honors to have operated this location for over 9 years. On our horizon, a new store front. A town who wants to work with us. Local Businesses who we can continue to create partnerships with. New People to meet and hangout with.
