It’s the first Saturday night of August 2017, and Merritt Toys & Games is packed!

After all the work that went into building this business from scratch, nights like this are exactly what I wanted to see. People are coming in, trying new games, buying cards, playing together and just hanging out.

Business has been steady, but what I'm happiest about is seeing the beginnings of a real gaming community here in Merritt.

We've got games going, cards being traded and purchased, anime playing on the big screen, music going and the lights outside flashing. The store is starting to feel less like a new business and more like a local hangout.

And that's really what I wanted.

A place where people can put down the electronics for a while, sit across the table from somebody and actually interact. Board games and tabletop gaming bring people together in a way we've been doing for generations.

After everything it took to get this store open, seeing a busy Saturday night like this makes the work worth it.

This is what a local game store should be about — games, community and people spending time together.

Thanks to everyone in Merritt who has been supporting the new store!
