Where in Briz you gonna be based then?

Old Market St in Old Market it's only 400-500 meters from the Horsefair GW.
It's 4,500 sqft with room for a good 30 tables.
I'm going to start with 15 or so permanent tables and allow/support as many systems as possible depending on demand.
I'll keep everyone posted as things get a little more focused and finished!!!

As noted by others, I own Showcase Comics, 2 stores in Philadelphia area of PA. , Media and Bryn Mawr.

Ah, comfortably close to the Excelsior Comic Shop (an independent store, which I recommend to any dakkites lurking in Bristol). I shall be visiting once you're up and running then!

It's funny how things work out!

I am a recovering former LGS owner having been on the wagon now for about eight years...

Did it, done it ,like it ,love it, well for a time anyway.

It all seems such a long time ago owned a shop in Belfast Northern Ireland had some good highs, and do not regret it at all. I would recommend it to anyone interested but make sure you're doing it for the right reasons it soon ends up being work it doesn't last as a hobby for too long.
