So... I went through the suggestion box this morning and we had some good ones.

I give points for drawing ability but i regret to inform you that Ribbit Racing does not fit in our local dumpsters so it will have to remain!

To the gnomes person... I will take the gnome suggestion into consideration!

Great suggestions about DDR and the game buy! I'd love to get that one and will add it to our list!

As always, keep up with the awesome suggestions, funny comments and great drawings! We love hearing from you all!

HEY ALL! Reaching out again about carpet removal!

The contractor we had lined up to remove the small area of carpet/glue did not work out.

Looking for someone who has a company and can come give a free estimate and be able to do the job on a Tuesday (when we are closed).

(Small-ish area about 40x30 -would need to measure to be sure. Carpet needs to come up, glue removed and a transition put in place)

Please message us here if you are an insured company (liability reasons).

Thanks!!

Round two of trailer loading this week: complete! 🚚💥

​Huge shoutout to our awesome friends who enable us (me?) so much!!

​And shout out to Derek, who has been such a sport moving all of these games—he's got the smarts and the muscles! 💪🎮

​This haul is packed with absolute retro gems, and honestly, we’ve barely scratched the surface.

​That’s a wrap on this warehouse for the week, but there’s still so much left for next time.
Plus, the hustle doesn't stop—we might just have another haul lined up before the weekend!
