Welcome back to another episode of Building My Dream Game Store, where I'm documenting every step of opening Merritt Toys & Games and Rosie's Filipino Foods from the ground up.

Today's episode is one of my favorites so far...

For the first time, the store is starting to feel like a real business instead of a construction project.

After weeks of demolition, drywall, mudding, sanding, painting, cleaning, and planning, it's finally time to choose the colors that will define the personality of the store.

For the game store, I decided to go with a bright Memphis blue on white, inspired by the colorful storefronts, coastal architecture, and cheerful atmosphere you often see throughout the southern United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

For Rosie's Filipino Food Store, we're planning a warm tangerine accent that will create a welcoming, tropical feel while complementing the blue in the game store.

The goal has always been simple...

Create a place that feels fun.

A place families enjoy visiting.

A place kids get excited to walk into.

A place that feels bright, welcoming, and full of life.

As the renovation continues, more pieces of the puzzle are coming together.

The security camera system has been installed.

The alarm system is operational.

The drywall is finished.

Painting is moving ahead room by room.

Next comes the flooring, baseboards, ceiling work, and eventually stocking the shelves.

One of the things I'm most excited about is building something my entire family can be part of.

Rosie's store will operate beside mine, giving us the opportunity to work together while raising our children and building something that hopefully serves the Merritt community for many years.

This series isn't just about renovating a building.

It's about turning an idea into reality, one day at a time.

Thank you for following along on this incredible journey.

We're getting closer to opening day with every new episode.
