Well its a brave new world and I decided to jump in

As of August 15th this year Ive opened a hobby store which right now only has Games Workshop products and most importantly tables.
We have the cheapest prices around from what Ive seen, especially selling "Betrayal at Calth" for £78 including free P&P.
Please feel free to have a look at our website www.alchemistsworkshops.com
There are currently 2 tables for 40k assembled and not quite painted yet, please see below, with a third and a AoS to be started
Opening times are:
9am till 9pm Monday to Friday
10:30am till 9pm Saturday
10am till 4pm Sunday
Any suggestions or feedback are always welcome
Please stop by have a game or check us out

Looking good lads! Almost equidistant from me and my gaming buddy. I have sent him a link to your site.

You're cheaper than Element Games, too, which is conflicting for me because they're my local, but I love saving money!

It's always good to see new stores, and gaming venues even more-so.

So, expect to appear in the Store Finder, and update that as you go:

Awesome shop, it's basically a mini GW.

Would play at, would frequent, would come and hobby inside of. Good luck with everything, but I doubt you'll need it.

You should post tons more photos as it develops.

It looks nice but I would suggest a bigger sign.

Your entrance looks a bit nondescript and easily passed assuming you were already looking for it. Plus you want something enticing to grab attention for that all important passing trade.

Goodluck with your venture.

Looks great, wish I was closer.

How many staff do you have? Your opening hours will be pretty knackering, week after week...

What do you sell other than GW?

Currently X-wing, Star Wars armada, malifaux, Batman and Magic. I can do other systems on demand depending on the order value.

Point two there's 2 of us who over lap as its 9am to 9pm.

Sorry for the late responses been mega busy with the Black Friday offer we've had on

On all systems we are roughly 20-25% off retail price

I get that sentiment and thank you for that. But I want to offer the best services and prices I can.
Yes we all want to make money but it's all about giving you the best prices so you can accomplish your ambitions and dreams with your armies

There is another sign going to sit under it. Passing trade is an issue as we picked a business centre so we could get space for tables and gaming at a good price so word of mouth and referrals is key.

If you offer a good service and product people will come

Some more shots of some of the Board tiles that have been built by a member of the stores staff

Hope you like them and please make suggestions. Always nice to see something we might have missed

Get your logo into your Dakka profile. We are likely to remember it, and look for it when we go online-shopping next.
Use the signature and profile details to hold links to your site, and any new info on there.
It's free, and most of us see it whenever we see your posts. So, post away.

As for charging for table-use, we pay £2 per person to use tables at the club I go to, meaning we pay £4-8 per table.
So, £5 is close enough to what I pay anyway. Good terrain just makes it easier to do.

Thank you, I can't believe it took 3 hours to do.
Stuart Williamson from forgeworld taught me how to do it.
Once the rest of the boards are finished I can complete painting it

Where is the store based?
