Described as a mini-Warhammer World.

**Nvs**

The US is a big place. Where will it be?

My interest in the hobby died off significantly after the Games Days left and they shuttered the HQ store in Maryland.

They haven't said yet, but I'll be very surprised if it isn't in or near a major city like New York, Chicago, Dallas or Los Angeles.

**Daedalus81**

I welcome this with open arms.

Awesome! But where is it?

......don't be west coast don't be west coast don't be west coast....

**Necros**

They should put it in Pottstown, PA, so I don't have to drive far.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I suspect this might be the first of a few planned, provided of course this works out.

**auticus**

If I had to guess I'd pick Memphis, Chicago, or Maryland as those are all or were all major hubs.

**mightymconeshot**

I wonder if they will have the exclusive Warhammer World things and be able to get Forgeworld... And West coast hopefully.

**Valander**

Interesting. As much as I'd like it to be "Seattle," I don't think it will be due to the pretty high cost of business around here. Plus, we already have more than one "game cafe" kinda thing, so it'd be stiffer competition.

A major hub for the first one definitely sounds plausible, though. But who knows, maybe they'll pull an Old-GW style thing and do "Topeka, KS".

**Chopxsticks**

Portland Oregon!!! But seriously, Some place in Oregon... please

**TalonZahn**

Depends on what the focus is.

GW Hobby focus, definitely East Coast, or Memphis/Chicago.

Cafe focus with GW trinkets, definitely West Coast, Seattle/SanFran.

**ProtoClone**

I really actually like this idea.

A lot of times when I travel I always opt out of hobby specific stops for one reason or another.

But this would give me something to go see and allow my wife and I to get coffee while we plot our next few stops.

Hopefully they hire some good baristas and buy some good coffee, preferably local suppliers. Nothing puts me off more than a bad cup of coffee.

**Desubot**

Its a cool old idea.

Its basically the bunker but has been renamed to something much less......gamery?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

More family oriented I’d argue.

After all, if it’s a decent cafe with high quality scran, there’s a chance it could support itself just on that?

I mean, this is speculation. I don’t know anything about running a cafe!

**timetowaste85**

NYC is just about the best I could hope for (although Stamford CT would be perfect!!). Fingers crossed, cuz it would take next to no effort to convince my wife to make a trip down.

**ChargerIIC**

I'm predicting American Northwest. There seems to be this impression that everything up there only happens in cafes and I could see them wanting to follow the path blazed by Snakes and Lattes.

Of course, that means they'll be entering an incredibly crowded market instead of a workable one...

**Carnikang**

Tossing out my bid for Chicago, as Adepticon is a huge draw, its a major hub, is close to Canadia (so they dont have far to go), and its a pretty good area in general once you get out of metro Chicago. No offense to anyone who lives there.

Its also just across the lake from me....

Also hoping the staff in the cafe are required to serve in terminator armor.

**ImAGeek**

That’s a good idea.

**doomdreamer**

When gaming companies are trying to figure out how to draw in new folks, this is it. I think this is a really positive way to introduce new players and cash flow into GW. I doubt they would put one in IN so soon, but I bet Chicago would be in the top 3 or so.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I’m very interested to see how the Cafe itself turns out, and the whole thing pans out.

I also wonder what the frequency of hearing a hobbyist splutter as they confused their water pot with their cuppa will be?

Once an hour? Less? More?

**Valentine009**

Somewhere in the DMV area would be great (Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Southern Maryland).

Good mid-atlantic location with a large local tournament scene (NOVA Open), and lots of international flights. Plus other great tourist draws.

**Elbows**

I cannot possibly see this working at all. (gets popcorn) That being said, go for it!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I don’t think it’s any riskier than any other business venture?

This basically was the battle bunkers and those did work up until kirbs decided to cull everything.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

For an indication of the possible food and drink?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

North West would be cool, but Im guessing Chicago or Memphis.

**Hulksmash**

Chicago was THE battle bunker sales wise pretty much as long as their were bunkers. I'd bank on Chicago.

**stratigo**

I'll bet it'll be near their distribution point on the east coast

**Stormonu**

Las Vegas?

Actually, if it came to Mephis or Atlanta, I *might* one day make it out to see it.
