Went in to purchase a Wii game to test my old Wii's disc reading ability. The used section was cheap and stocked. The shop employee was very welcoming even when I came in ONE MINUTE after opening. I appreciate that very much!

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! YU-GI-OH CARD STEALERS!!!I went with my boyfriend to sell his Yu-Gi-Oh card collection(about 450 cards) yesterday. Today they called me at around noon and let me know that my cards are ready to be picked up after being appraised. My boyfriend and I walk into the store and we were offered 10$ for our entire collection. I looked over the cards and realized I was missing all of the cards we had in sleeves. I had to call the police to get my cards back.

Have done quite a bit of business here and have had a good experience till now. My husband bought a 60.00 game for me for Christmas, and he paid cash. No store labels on the box or was not given a receipt. I was not interested in the game, so he went to return it - still with the plastic on and was told they don't remember him and there is a 10 day return policy,which is ridiculous. Make sure you get your receipt, and don't buy more than 10 days you are planning to gift the item. Ticket To Ride game for sale - will make a deal.

What a wonderful place for childhood dreams to come true! Exceptional staff and honesty. My son had his eye on a Star Wars game at 100.00$ the guy at checkout talked him out of it and recommended something more age appropriate for home to pursue. They didn’t have the starter kit in stock, but gave him advice on how to get going they could have made a sale and had a sad frustrated kid but they really were honest and helpful for him. we Got the game set at another place but we will be back to get more stuff to get started. And will be a loyal customer for years to come!!

New owner! Much has improved here and I can fully recommend coming in and showing your support. Cool little game shop, solid variety of products for gamers. Worth a stop if you enjoy board games, video games and/or card games, Magic the gathering, pokemon, etc.

So, David the Owner carries a selection of Video Games. I found PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games there which you can not find locally easily. I love that his marked prices already include the tax. So, if it says $6 it's $6. He also carries some card games like Pokemon. He also has Xbox One games, PlayStation 4, and other assortments. One of the best things is besides he is a local business is that with the video games if for some reason the game is not what you thought it was. He will work with you most of the time. For example...If it's been a short amount of time like a couple days and you come back and it was a $10 game and you exchange it for a different $10 game. I have picked up Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare & South Park: The Fracture But Whole for $6 each for Xbox One. I know they are older but I didn't have them for my Series X. I have not had any problems with the discs and the discs looked BRAND NEW!! David also Carries an assortment of Video Game Systems.

Well lit. Clean new store with an owner who has been in the business community for a while. They need more staff. It is a safe place to meet and play. Healthy and clean. The store owner can get some rare games that are vital for your mental health and relaxation.

Dave at The Gaming Emporium was a great help and even brought some vintage items I was looking for the day after my first visit. I would definitely go back to shop for anything Lego, Pokemon or just mention it to him and he'll help you out if he can!

I visit gaming stores in every city I visit and I’m happy to say The Gaming Emporium is one of the best. Glad they are located in my town. My only gripe at first was that it’s located in a mall, but this actually has led to extended hours compared to most game stores. It is also very clean and doesn’t have ‘gamer funk’. I recommend this store to any card gamer or D&D gamer. They carry a lot of role playing miniatures but are a little light on war gaming miniatures, just the basics. They are willing to order in what you need though. They do have a great war gaming table though with plenty of terrain!

Went to their new location for the first time, the store was nice and the staff was amazing. We found a few things we were looking for and will definitely be going back. They have become our go to spot.

Very nice store, with friendly staff and customers alike. Super helpful when it comes to picking out products - just wish there was a larger selection.

Lego boxes were trashed and faded . There was a guy inline selling or trading cards seemed to be top priority for the cashier I was just gonna grab some cards for my kid and run but wasn't gonna stand there and wait . Lots of games and such just didn't wanna wander around looking like a thief.

Friendly staff, and they might even bargain with ya. Nice variety of stuff, and if there are things you're looking for, they update their social media frequently, so im never left hanging. Been visiting every week since my first visit.

I always enjoy this place. I love the selection and with the newest relocation it's easy to get in and out of the store instead of navigating the mall every time lol

Nice selection. But would be better if they had the base games for the board games they sell and not just the expansions
