We recently had the honor of being named TCGplayer's 2024 Hobby Shop of the Year and they wrote up a great article about the origins of the store.
We started Gamelandia with a clear mission: creating an inclusive space where friendships could flourish around a shared love of games. Inspired by his own experiences, we envisioned a hobby shop that wasn’t just a retail space, but a welcoming community hub.
In their recent profile, TCGplayer highlighted our journey—from humble beginnings and personal challenges to transforming his dream into the vibrant Gamelandia community we all love today. The article beautifully captures our motivation: building connections, supporting local creators, and making sure everyone feels at home the moment they step through the doors.
We're proud of our awesome and welcoming community, and grateful to everyone who has made Gamelandia more than just a hobby store.
